Summary

Hunt Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 268 students in Newman, CA, within the Newman-Crows Landing Unified School District, which ranks in the bottom quarter of districts statewide.

The school faces significant academic challenges, with student proficiency in English, math, and science consistently below state averages and below most other elementary schools in its own district, such as Bonita Elementary and Von Renner Elementary. Hunt serves a student population where over 80% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic need. While the school has made good progress in improving student attendance since the pandemic, its academic performance has declined over the past decade, now ranking in the bottom quarter of all California elementary schools.

A notable finding is that Hunt's reported per-student spending is exceptionally high—more than double that of nearby schools—yet this major increase in resources has not led to improved test scores. When compared to other schools in the region with similar levels of student economic need, like Las Palmas Elementary, Hunt's academic outcomes are generally lower, suggesting the school faces unique challenges in translating resources into student learning.
