Summary

Hunt Elementary is a K–5 school in Newman, California, serving 268 students in an area that includes several nearby elementary schools. In 2025–2026, its proficiency rates were 42% in English language arts (ELA), 25% in math, and 30% in science. The most important takeaway is that Hunt now outperforms its district in all three subjects, but remains below state averages, especially in math.

Hunt’s clearest strengths are ELA and science compared with nearby K–5 schools. Its ELA result is 6 points above the peer average, and its science result is 8 points above; only Bonita Elementary scored higher in either subject. In math, Hunt is around the peer average and ranks third among the six schools compared. Hunt leads the Newman-Crows Landing Unified by 5 points in ELA, 3 in math, and 8 in science, but trails the state by 7, 13, and 6 points, respectively. Within Hunt, fifth-grade ELA stands out at 59%, above both district and state results; third-grade math is a concern at 18%, compared with 29% for the district and 47% for the state.

Results have risen considerably since 2022–2023: Hunt gained 22 percentage points in ELA, 12 in math, and 10 in science, while its SchoolDigger ranking climbed from the 7th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 40th percentile and 2 stars in 2025–2026. SchoolDigger also ranked Hunt at the 49th percentile for English Language Learner students in 2023–2024, well above its overall 7th-percentile ranking that year—a notably stronger subgroup standing. Context for families includes a 17.8 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025, the lowest among the nearby schools listed, and 80% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, the second-highest comparable local figure; California is marked as a statewide-free-meals state. Hunt’s 2025–2026 chronic absenteeism rate was also low at 3%, versus 8% for its district and 18% statewide.
