Summary:
Hickman Community Charter district in California contains one middle school, Hickman Middle, serving grades 6-8 with 141 students, which consistently earns a 4-star rating and ranks in the top quartile of schools statewide.
This school stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts where it outperforms both the Hickman Community Charter district and California state averages across all grades, and for its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 5.6%, far below the state average. While mathematics scores are above average, they show a notable decline from 6th to 8th grade, which is an area the school may focus on improving. The school achieves these results with a student-teacher ratio of 20.6 to 1 and a per-student spending figure near the state median, serving a student population where over a third qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
Overall, Hickman Middle is a high-performing school that maintains excellent attendance and solid academic outcomes. Parents can expect a consistent educational quality, as evidenced by its stable 4-star rating over recent years. The main considerations are the observed dip in upper-grade math scores and a science proficiency rate that, while good, is slightly below the district average, indicating potential areas for curriculum enhancement.
