Academically, Beehive Science & Technology Academy Elementary has proficiency rates in RISE assessments that are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in Mathematics. However, the school's proficiency rates in Science are higher than the state averages, indicating a relative strength in this subject area. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 23.8% is also relatively high, which could be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance.
Additionally, with 28.33% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a population with a significant economic need. This may require additional resources and support to ensure these students have the necessary tools and opportunities to succeed academically. To improve the school's performance, the administration may need to focus on strengthening its math instruction, addressing attendance issues, and providing additional support and resources for economically disadvantaged students.
