Hanford Elementary Community Day

Summary:

Hanford Elementary Community Day is a small public elementary school serving grades K-8 in Hanford, California, with only 13 students and a very low student-teacher ratio of 4.3. However, the school has faced significant challenges, with chronic absenteeism rates reaching as high as 71.7% in the 2022-2023 school year, and its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, has been consistently well below the Hanford Elementary district and state averages.

Hanford Elementary Community Day's chronic absenteeism rates are more than three times the rate of the next highest school, Roosevelt Elementary, at 20.9%. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 3.33% of Hanford Elementary Community Day students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 45.09% at George Washington Elementary and 47.04% statewide. In Mathematics, 0% of Hanford Elementary Community Day students were proficient or better, compared to 37.68% at George Washington Elementary and 35.54% statewide.

The data suggests that Hanford Elementary Community Day may require targeted interventions and support to address the underlying issues contributing to the high chronic absenteeism and low academic performance, which could include strategies to improve student engagement, provide additional academic support, and address any social or emotional needs of the students. Addressing these challenges will likely require a comprehensive approach to support the unique needs of the school and its 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.
