Additionally, there are significant performance gaps between different student subgroups, with African American and White students generally performing better than Hispanic and English Language Learner students.

When compared to nearby schools, China Elementary stands out in terms of its racial diversity, but its academic performance is more mixed. For example, Sour Lake Elementary, which is part of the same school district, has a significantly less diverse student population but generally performs better on STAAR tests, particularly in reading and mathematics. On the other hand, the schools in the Beaumont Independent School District, such as Regina Howell Elementary, Guess Elementary, and Caldwood Elementary, tend to have lower academic performance and higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students compared to China Elementary.
