Summary

J. Haley Durham Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 719 students in the high-performing Fremont Unified School District, consistently earning a 4-star rating with test scores that are solidly above the California state average.

Academically, the school is a strong middle-tier performer within its district. While its proficiency rates in English, Math, and Science outpace the state, they are lower than some nearby schools like John Gomes Elementary and Joshua Chadbourne Elementary, but higher than others such as Brier Elementary. The school has shown notable strength in supporting English Language Learner students. However, recent years have seen a decline in its statewide ranking and proficiency scores, coinciding with an increase in students qualifying for free/reduced lunch.

Durham operates with a higher student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending compared to several neighboring schools. Its chronic absenteeism rate, while better than the state average, is slightly higher than the district's. The data suggests the school is managing resources effectively to maintain its position, but faces the ongoing challenge of supporting consistent academic growth across all student groups as its community evolves.
