Summary:
The Hart-Ransom Union Elementary district in California serves students from kindergarten through 8th grade, with two schools in the district: Hart-Ransom Elementary and Hart-Ransom Charter. The data reveals that while both schools are performing well, the charter school stands out with exceptional results across various metrics.
Hart-Ransom Charter is an alternative public charter school serving grades K-12 and boasts a high 4-year graduation rate of 93.5% and a low dropout rate of 6.5%. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is remarkably low at 0.7%, and its students outperform district and state averages on standardized tests, particularly in 11th grade English Language Arts and 10th/11th grade Science. In contrast, Hart-Ransom Elementary, a traditional public elementary school serving grades K-8, has a strong statewide ranking in the top third of California elementary schools and generally outperforms district and state averages in English Language Arts, but has a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 45.05%.
Both schools demonstrate consistently strong performance in English Language Arts, but the data suggests an opportunity for improvement in Mathematics, where proficiency rates, while still above state averages, are lower compared to English Language Arts. The stark contrast in chronic absenteeism rates between the two schools highlights the significant impact of consistent student attendance on academic outcomes. Overall, the analysis reveals that Hart-Ransom Charter is a standout performer, while Hart-Ransom Elementary is also a strong school, particularly in supporting its economically disadvantaged student population.
