Summary

Tyrrell Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 597 students in the Hayward Unified school district, consistently ranking in the lower tier of California elementary schools.

The school faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science well below state averages, though it performs better than some nearby schools like Glassbrook Elementary. A key finding is that schools with similar high rates of economic disadvantage can have different outcomes; for instance, Eldridge Elementary has nearly identical demographics but higher English scores. Tyrrell also operates with a higher student-teacher ratio and less funding per student than several comparison schools, including Lorin A. Eden Elementary and Eldridge.

Despite these challenges, Tyrrell has made notable progress in reducing chronic student absenteeism. The school shows strengths in specific areas, such as 5th-grade instruction, and its performance varies by grade level. The presence of higher-performing nearby options like Hayward Collegiate Charter and Southgate Elementary within the same community indicates that improved academic results are achievable in the local context.
