Summary:
Hayward Collegiate Charter District has one listed elementary school, Hayward Collegiate Charter, serving kindergarten through grade 6 with 231 students. Its clearest current advantage is mathematics: in 2025–2026, 46% of students were proficient, 8 percentage points above California’s 38%.
Because it is the only school listed, it is both the area’s top and bottom school; the useful comparison is with state results and across grades. In 2025–2026, the school was also slightly above California in ELA, at 50% versus 49% (1 point higher), while science was below the state, at 34% versus 36% (2 points lower). Grade 4 was a particularly strong result: ELA proficiency was 58%, 12 points above the state, and math was 58%, 16 points above. Results were less favorable in some grades: grade 3 ELA was 43%, 1 point below the state, and grade 6 math was 35%, 3 points below. Across grades 3–6, math results varied more than ELA, spanning 23 points compared with 15 points in ELA.
Results moved closer to the state over the two years, but that did not always mean the school’s own scores improved. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, math proficiency fell 7 points while California rose 1 point, narrowing the school’s lead from 16 points to 8; science rose 9 points, faster than the state’s 3-point increase, narrowing its deficit from 7 points to 2. ELA was virtually unchanged, with a rounded change of 0 points, while the state rose 0 points when rounded. SchoolDigger’s ranking fell from the 81st percentile and 4 stars in 2023–2024 to the 64th percentile and 3 stars in 2025–2026. Chronic absenteeism was 17%, compared with 18% statewide. For context, the school’s student–teacher ratio was 25.8 in 2024–2025, and 55% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that school year; these figures do not explain achievement results. With only one listed school, school-to-school comparisons are not available.
