of 5,857 California Elementary Schools

Better than 11% of California elementary schools

Summary

Park Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 504 students in the Hayward Unified district, located in a high-need community where over 80% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of California elementary schools with proficiency rates in English, math, and science well below both district and state averages. Its performance is notably lower than several nearby schools, such as Southgate Elementary and Hayward Collegiate Charter, which serve similar student populations but achieve dramatically better results. There is also considerable inconsistency in performance across different grade levels within the school itself.

Despite these academic struggles, Park Elementary has a notable bright spot: it has made dramatic improvements in reducing chronic student absenteeism, cutting the rate by more than half since the peak of the pandemic. The school also spends more per student than most comparison schools in the area. The significant performance gap with higher-achieving nearby schools within the same district suggests that demographic factors alone do not determine outcomes and that different school practices can lead to very different results.
