Summary

Hemmerling Elementary is a K–5 school in Banning, California, serving 468 students in the Banning Unified area. Its 2025–2026 results show a mixed picture: it outperformed its district in English language arts (ELA) and math, but science was its clearest weakness. Just 14% of students were proficient in science, the lowest result among eight nearby schools with results and 22 percentage points below the state.

ELA and math are relative strengths compared with the district, but Hemmerling remains behind the state and most nearby schools. ELA proficiency was 34%, compared with 28% in the district and 49% statewide; the nearby-school average was 46%. Math was 23%, versus 18% in the district and 38% statewide, while nearby schools averaged 40%. In both subjects, Hemmerling’s results exceeded those of only a few nearby schools. Science proficiency was 14%, compared with 21% in the district and 36% statewide; the nearby average was 31%, and even the next-lowest school, Central Elementary, was slightly higher at 15%.

Over the four reported years, ELA rose from 25% to 34% and math from 19% to 23%, though both were below their 2024–2025 results; science fell from 19% to 14%. Chronic absenteeism improved markedly, dropping from 52% in 2021–2022 to 17% in 2025–2026, below the state’s 18% and district’s 25%. SchoolDigger places Hemmerling at the 23rd percentile statewide, rank 4,481 of 5,804, with one star; that is down from the 30th percentile last year but above nearby Hoffer Elementary at the 18th percentile. The 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 24.5, compared with a nearby average of about 23.3. In 2024–2025, 93% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; California is flagged as a statewide free-meals state, so this is an eligibility measure, not whether students can receive meals. One subgroup ranking stands out: SchoolDigger placed English Language Learner Students at the 56th percentile in 2023–2024, compared with the school’s overall 21st percentile that year, a notably higher standing for this group.
