Summary

Charles Hoffman Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 297 students in Running Springs, part of the Rim of the World Unified School District, and it stands out as a school on a strong upward trend, significantly outperforming its own district's average.

Despite being in a district ranked in the bottom third statewide, Charles Hoffman ranks in the 65th percentile in California and has shown impressive improvement, jumping from a 2-star to a 3-star rating. The school excels at supporting its students, with over 60% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, yet it achieves proficiency rates that are more than double the district average in math and substantially higher in English and science. This is a notable contrast to another school in its district, Lake Arrowhead Elementary, and to schools in neighboring districts like Highland Pacific Elementary in the San Bernardino City Unified district, which has much lower academic results.

While the school's performance is commendable within its context, it is slightly behind some higher-performing schools in the Redlands Unified district, such as Cram Elementary and Highland Grove Elementary. A key area for continued growth is reducing chronic absenteeism, which, though improved, remains above the state average. Overall, Charles Hoffman Elementary demonstrates that effective school-level programs can lead to strong and rising academic achievement for students.
