Hafen Elementary School

Q: Is Hafen Elementary School a good school?

Hafen Elementary School ranks 271 st of 377 Nevada elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Hafen Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Pahrump, Nevada, serving around 440 students in grades PK-5. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 50.91% White, 34.55% Hispanic, and smaller percentages of other racial groups.

Academically, Hafen Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Nevada elementary schools, with only 25.6% of students proficient or better in Mathematics and 33.3% in Reading for the 2023-2024 school year. This performance is below the state and district averages. The school also has a very high percentage (100%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the high per-student spending, ranging from $11,600 to $13,247 over the past few years, the school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of around 20, which is higher than the recommended ratio for effective instruction.

Compared to nearby schools, Manse Elementary School and Floyd Elementary School have higher SBAC proficiency rates and better overall rankings than Hafen Elementary School. However, Hafen performs better than the smaller Pathways Elementary School and the lower-ranked J.G. Johnson Elementary School. Addressing the challenges faced by Hafen Elementary School, such as the consistent high poverty rates and declining performance over time, will require a comprehensive approach to improve student outcomes and provide the necessary support for the school's diverse and economically disadvantaged student population.

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.
