Summary:
The Hayward Collegiate Charter District is home to a single elementary public charter school, Hayward Collegiate Charter, which serves grades K-6 and has a total enrollment of 150 students.
Hayward Collegiate Charter stands out as an exceptional school, consistently ranking in the top 20% of California elementary schools on the SchoolDigger statewide ranking. The school's academic performance is particularly impressive, with significantly higher proficiency rates on the Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST (California Science Test) compared to the state averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas. For instance, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics were 63.21% and 56.6%, respectively, far exceeding the state averages of 47.04% and 35.54%.
Despite serving a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by the 42% free and reduced-lunch rate, Hayward Collegiate Charter has been able to achieve these outstanding academic results. The school's success could serve as a model for other schools, particularly those serving similar demographics, to emulate and potentially replicate the school's effective practices and strategies.
