Huron Elementary

Summary:

Huron Elementary is a public elementary school located in Huron, California, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 744 students. The school is part of the Coalinga-Huron Unified School District, which is ranked 1483 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Huron Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, consistently low academic performance, and a student population with high levels of economic disadvantage. The school's chronic absenteeism rate has risen from 9.4% in 2017-2018 to 37.3% in 2022-2023, much higher than the state and district averages. Academically, Huron Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 5% of California elementary schools, with only 12.02% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and 16.25% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 47.04% and 35.54%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low in Science, with only 3.45% of students proficient or better, compared to 30.7% for the state.

Interestingly, the nearby Henry F. Bishop Elementary, Nell Dawson Elementary, and Sunset Elementary, which are also part of the Coalinga-Huron Unified School District, generally outperform Huron Elementary in academic metrics. For example, Sunset Elementary had 31.16% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, more than double the rate of Huron Elementary. The high chronic absenteeism rates at Huron Elementary appear to be closely linked to the school's poor academic performance, and the extremely high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients suggest that socioeconomic factors play a significant role in shaping the educational outcomes of the students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
