Summary:
The Huntington Beach City Elementary district is home to 8 high-performing schools, including 6 elementary schools and 2 middle schools. The district as a whole outperforms the state in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels, with several standout schools ranking among the top in California.
Huntington Seacliff Elementary and Ralph E. Hawes Elementary are the top-performing elementary schools, with exceptional test scores and over 80% of students proficient in core subjects. The two middle schools, Ethel Dwyer Middle and Isaac L. Sowers Middle, also rank in the top 15% of California middle schools with above-average proficiency rates and low chronic absenteeism.
While the district overall performs well, there is some variation in metrics like chronic absenteeism and the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Schools with lower socioeconomic status tend to have higher chronic absenteeism rates, but the district maintains relatively small class sizes across all schools, indicating a strong commitment to personalized attention and support for students.
