Hage Elementary

Summary:

Hage Elementary is a public elementary school in San Diego, California, serving 526 students in grades K-5 and part of the San Diego Unified School District. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, it faces several challenges that contribute to its relatively low academic performance and proficiency rates.

Hage Elementary struggles with the performance of certain student subgroups, with Asian and White students ranking in the bottom 20% of California elementary schools, and Hispanic and English Language Learner students ranking in the bottom 40%. Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 11.0% in 2017-2018 to 31.9% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the district and state averages. Academically, Hage Elementary's performance, as measured by Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST Science tests, is generally below the district and state averages across grade levels and subject areas, with the school struggling the most in 5th-grade mathematics and science.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools in the San Diego Unified School District, such as Miramar Ranch Elementary, Hickman Elementary, and Ericson Elementary, Hage Elementary generally underperforms, with significantly higher academic proficiency rates and statewide rankings at these other schools. Addressing the challenges faced by Hage Elementary, particularly the performance of underperforming student groups, will be crucial for the school to improve its educational outcomes and provide a more equitable learning environment for all 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.
