Summary:
The Piedmont City Unified school district is home to three exceptional elementary schools: Havens Elementary, Beach Elementary, and Wildwood Elementary. These schools consistently rank among the top performers in the state, with Beach Elementary standing out as the clear standout, ranking 10th out of over 5,800 California elementary schools.
Beach Elementary's exceptional performance is evident across multiple metrics. It boasts the highest proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, often exceeding the district and state averages by a significant margin. Additionally, Beach Elementary has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate at just 2.1%, compared to 13.8% at Havens Elementary and 9.3% at Wildwood Elementary. This consistent academic excellence has earned Beach Elementary a top 30 ranking in the state for the past three school years.
While all three Piedmont City Unified elementary schools demonstrate impressive academic achievements, with proficiency rates well above state averages, the data suggests that these schools serve a relatively affluent and engaged student population. The low rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 1.37% to 4.17%, and the small student-teacher ratios, between 16.3 and 16.7 students per teacher, indicate that these schools may have access to significant resources and parental involvement that contribute to their outstanding performance.
