Summary:
The Hickman Community Charter district consists of three public charter schools—Hickman Charter, Hickman Elementary, and Hickman Middle—all located on the same campus and serving grades K-8 for about 1,100 total students in a district that ranks in the top third statewide.
Performance varies significantly between the schools, with Hickman Middle standing out as the highest-ranked, achieving strong English Language Arts proficiency and maintaining excellent ratings. Hickman Elementary also performs well, especially in mathematics, while Hickman Charter has lower proficiency rates and ratings, indicating room for improvement despite serving the most students.
Notable strengths across the district include exceptionally low chronic absenteeism and science scores above the state average. Key considerations for parents include the wide performance gap between the two elementary schools, the trend of math scores declining in higher grades, and the fact that the middle school receives more funding per student and has smaller class sizes than the charter school.
