Compared to nearby middle schools in the Capistrano Unified School District, such as Esencia Middle, Arroyo Vista Middle, and Ladera Ranch Middle, Carl Hankey Middle performs well but tends to rank slightly lower, with these higher-ranked schools often having higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and serving student populations with lower percentages of free/reduced-price lunch recipients. This suggests that Carl Hankey Middle may face some challenges in serving a more economically disadvantaged student population, which could contribute to its performance differences compared to its neighbors.
