Halkin Elementary

Summary:

Halkin Elementary is a public elementary school in San Leandro, California, serving 687 students in grades K-5. The school faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, lower test scores compared to the district and state averages, and a high percentage of students from low-income families.

Halkin Elementary's performance is generally lower than other elementary schools in the San Leandro Unified School District, such as Monroe, Jefferson, McKinley, and Washington Elementary Schools, which have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Halkin Elementary is also located relatively close to several elementary schools in the Oakland Unified School District, such as Fred T. Korematsu Discovery Academy Elementary and Esperanza Elementary, which have significantly lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates.

The high rates of chronic absenteeism and free/reduced lunch recipients at Halkin Elementary may be contributing to the lower academic performance. These factors are often associated with socioeconomic challenges and can have a significant impact on student learning and achievement. However, the school's performance suggests that there may be opportunities for targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of its student population and improve educational outcomes.

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.
