Summary

Hickman Charter serves 647 students in grades K–8 in Hickman, California. In 2025–2026, its proficiency rates were 41% in English language arts (ELA), 26% in math and 38% in science. The clearest academic concern is math: proficiency was 13 percentage points below both the state and district averages.

Science is the school’s strongest subject compared with the state, but it was still below the district average: 38% of students were proficient, versus 36% statewide and 39% districtwide. ELA and math were below both benchmarks: ELA was 8 points below the state and 10 below the district, while math was 13 points below each. The comparison with the two other reported K–8 schools, Roberts Ferry Charter School Academy and Gratton Charter, is also challenging. Their average results were 64% in ELA, 59% in math and 48% in science—23, 34 and 10 points above Hickman Charter, respectively.

Results have moved in different directions over time. From 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA fell 5 points and math fell 1 point, while state results rose in both subjects; science improved by 4 points, though its advantage over the state narrowed from 4 points to 2. SchoolDigger ranks Hickman Charter at the 36th percentile statewide with 2 stars, down from the 59th percentile and 3 stars in 2021–2022. Its 24.6 student-teacher ratio is the second highest among the listed schools, behind Roberts Ferry Union Elementary at 30. In 2024–2025, 41% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves White students is at the 11th percentile; its measure for Hispanic students is at the 15th percentile, down from the 27th percentile in 2023–2024.

Wednesday, March 27, 2019

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
