Summary

Longwood Elementary in Hayward, California, serves 517 students in grades K–6 and is part of Hayward Unified. Its latest proficiency results show improvement over time, but the central concern for families is that the school remains below both its district and California in English language arts, math, and science.

Science is Longwood’s closest result to nearby schools, while English language arts is its largest concern. In 2025–2026, about 19% of students were proficient in science, nearly matching the nearby-school average of 19%; about 27% were proficient in ELA, compared with 34% nearby. Math proficiency was 19%, versus a 27% nearby average. Longwood ranked seventh of 10 schools in both ELA and math and sixth of 10 in science. The gaps with the state were substantial in every subject: 23 percentage points in ELA, 19 in math, and 17 in science. Results were also below district averages by 7 points in ELA, 3 in math, and 4 in science. Within the grades, fifth-grade math was a relative bright spot: 20% proficiency was 2 points above the district, though still 17 points below the state.

Scores have risen since 2022–2023: proficiency increased by 6 percentage points in ELA, 6 in math, and 10 in science, narrowing the school’s gaps with the state in all three subjects. SchoolDigger gave Longwood a 14th-percentile ranking and one star in 2025–2026; that was an improvement from the 5th percentile two years earlier, but ranked eighth among 10 nearby schools with a ranking. One notable group result is for male students: their SchoolDigger ranking rose from the 4th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 19th in 2025–2026, above the school’s overall 14th-percentile ranking. For context, the 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 22.4, the second-lowest among nearby schools, and 82% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. Chronic absenteeism also fell by 35 percentage points from 2021–2022 to 2025–2026, though the latest rate of 26% remained above the district’s 24% and the state’s 18%.
