How the Beverly Hills Public-School Landscape Breaks Down

Beverly Hills, CA enrolls 3,013 students across 5 public schools reporting to the National Center for Education Statistics. The average student-teacher ratio across the city is 14.1:1, Schools must report at least five campuses in a city to appear in this listing, which is why very small towns may redirect to the broader county or state view.

The highest-ranked campus in Beverly Hills is Beverly Hills High, scoring 56/100 (C) with 1,173 enrolled students at the high level. Families should treat any single ranking as a starting point rather than a verdict — a school serving fewer at-risk students or offering more AP classes will score higher on resource-based composites even if individual teachers or programs elsewhere are stronger. The quality score framework is transparent and rebuilt from raw NCES and Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC) inputs, so each component can be inspected on the individual school pages linked in the table below.

Beverly Hills schools sit within multiple district boundaries, which matters for property taxes, redistricting votes, and bond measures. Each district files its own NCES F-33 financial return, meaning per-pupil spending can vary noticeably even between neighbouring campuses in the same city. Use the table to sort by enrollment, level, or district, then click any school name for campus-level demographics, Title I status, counselor and nurse staffing, AP courses, chronic-absenteeism rates, and district per-pupil spending. The sidebar links also connect Beverly Hills housing costs, wage data, and crime statistics — context many parents weigh alongside test-adjacent school signals when relocating.

Beverly Hills High accounts for 38.9% of all Beverly Hills public-school enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Beverly Hills-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. A dominant campus often anchors a city's program landscape and absorbs a disproportionate share of district capital and staffing decisions. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.

Beverly Hills school enrollment varies 196× across entities

Beverly Hills school enrollment ranges from 6 students (lowest) to 1,173 students (highest), a spread of 1,167 students. That ratio is among the widest observed and reflects extreme heterogeneity inside a single city — small specialty programs sit alongside large comprehensive campuses, often serving very different family demographics inside walking distance. Per-school staffing, programme depth, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same city based on enrollment shape — a 200-student magnet runs a different operational model than a 2,000-student comprehensive high school.

Beverly Hills operates only 1 school district — among the most consolidated governance structures in the country

Most Beverly Hills school districts are a single unified district covering the whole city — a structural feature that simplifies inter-school comparison but concentrates policy authority. Consolidation produces narrower variance because resources pool across larger populations, but it can also mask intra-school district inequities — sub-school district differences within a single school district are not visible at this aggregation level. Consolidated systems typically rely more heavily on top-down funding formulas than on local revenue variability.

Beverly Hills student-teacher ratio is 14.1:1 — near the typical range (US average ~16) — aligned with the U.S. average of approximately 16:1

student-teacher ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE classroom teachers against total enrollment — push-in specialists, English-language aides, special-education co-teachers, and counselors are not included in most reporting Variation between sub-units within Beverly Hills is typically wider than the Beverly Hills-aggregate figure suggests.
