of 5,857 California Elementary Schools

Better than 7% of California elementary schools

Summary

Huron Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 723 students in the Coalinga-Huron Unified district, which ranks in the bottom 5% of all California districts, and it has consistently been ranked in the bottom 10% of the state's elementary schools for over a decade.

The school faces significant challenges, with over 90% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and its academic performance is generally lower than other schools in its own district, such as Nell Dawson Elementary and Sunset Elementary. A particularly concerning trend is the severe drop in test scores between 3rd and 5th grade. However, there are some positive signs: the school's chronic absenteeism rate has improved dramatically since the pandemic, and its mathematics performance is a relative strength, outperforming the district average and similar schools like Tamarack Elementary.

When compared to higher-performing schools in neighboring districts like Central Union Elementary, such as R. J. Neutra and Akers Elementary, the differences in student economic disadvantage, per-student spending, and chronic absenteeism are stark, highlighting the complex context in which Huron Elementary operates.
