The school's performance on STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects, particularly in mathematics. For example, in 2024-2025, only 19.54%, 14.49%, and 18.06% of 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students, respectively, were proficient or better in STAAR Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 44.88%, 45.79%, and 46.24%.
When comparing Dishman Elementary to nearby schools in the Beaumont ISD, a similar pattern of underperformance is observed, with the majority of the nearby schools, such as Pietzsch/Mac Arthur Elementary, Fehl-Price Elementary, and Blanchette Elementary, also ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools. However, a few nearby schools, such as Regina Howell Elementary and Curtis Elementary, perform significantly better than Dishman Elementary and the district average on STAAR tests, suggesting that there may be successful practices or strategies being implemented at these schools that could potentially be replicated at Dishman.
