Summary

Hickman Middle serves 141 students in grades 6–8 in Hickman, California, and is the smallest school in its nearby comparison group; the next-smallest has 239 students. Its clearest distinction is academic: in 2025–2026, Hickman had higher all-grade proficiency than the state and district in ELA, math and science, and the highest rates among nearby schools serving grades 6–8 in all three subjects.

ELA is Hickman’s strongest advantage, while science is its smallest—but still substantial—lead. ELA proficiency was 65%, compared with 49% statewide and 51% in the Hickman Community Charter district; math was 49%, versus 38% statewide and 39% in the district; and science was 46%, versus 36% and 39%. Compared with averages at the seven nearby schools serving grades 6–8, Hickman led by 27 points in ELA, 23 in math and 21 in science. Its science rate was also 8 points above the highest nearby result in that subject.

Scores have recovered from a 2023–2024 dip, but remain below their 2022–2023 highs: ELA fell 1 point over that span, math 3 points and science 9 points. Meanwhile, Hickman’s lead over the state narrowed by 4 points in ELA, 7 in math and 15 in science. SchoolDigger ranked Hickman at the 80th statewide percentile with 4 stars in 2025–2026; the highest nearby school percentile was 63. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for how well Hickman serves White students rose from 53 in 2023–2024 to 75 in 2025–2026, compared with an overall rise from 75 to 80. Hickman’s student-teacher ratio, 20.6, matches the average for nearby grade 6–8 schools with reported ratios. Its free/reduced lunch eligibility was 36% in 2024–2025, below the 52.7%–93.9% range among nearby schools reporting the same measure and year. With 141 students, results may be more sensitive to changes in the number of students tested.
