Summary

Hickman Charter is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Hickman, CA, with 579 students. While part of the Hickman Community Charter District, which is ranked 505 out of 1,565 districts in California, Hickman Charter itself has struggled to keep up with state-level performance.

Hickman Charter's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 8th grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 62.5%, compared to the district's 63.22% and the state's 47.84%. Additionally, Hickman Charter has significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates, at 24.9% in 2022-2023, compared to the district's 5.6% and the state's 0.2%. The school also struggles to effectively serve certain student subgroups, with its Hispanic, White, female, and low-socioeconomic status student groups ranking in the bottom 40% of California elementary schools.

Despite spending more per student ($11,152 in 2023-2024) than the state average, Hickman Charter's academic performance has not improved. In fact, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past 10 years, from 1,517 out of 5,611 California elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 3,619 out of 5,857 in 2024-2025. Interestingly, the nearby Hickman Elementary school, which is also part of the Hickman Community Charter District, consistently outperforms Hickman Charter on test scores and has lower chronic absenteeism rates.

Home school program is the best we have used. On campus classes let them learn to engage in group learning while still having a individualized learning plan. Works great for my kids that Excell in math and science but need a hand up with English and literature. The staff is incredible, I cannot say enough. Close Quote
