Hurley Elementary

Summary:

Hurley Elementary is a public elementary school in La Puente, California, serving 416 students in grades K-6. It is part of the Rowland Unified School District, which is ranked 759 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hurley Elementary faces several key challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates that have risen from 4.8% in 2018-2019 to 25.1% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than nearby Northam Elementary (26.6%) and Villacorta Elementary (38.9%), as well as the district and state averages. The school's test scores are consistently lower than the Rowland Unified district and California state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 33.6% of Hurley students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and 32.16% in Mathematics, compared to the district and state averages of around 47%.

Hurley Elementary's subgroup performance is mixed, with English Language Learners and Low Socioeconomic Status students performing relatively better than other subgroups, such as Special Education students, who ranked 1880 out of 2634 California elementary schools. The school's location in a lower-income area may be a contributing factor to its academic challenges, and addressing the root causes of high absenteeism and implementing targeted interventions for underperforming subgroups could be crucial for improving the school's overall outcomes. Nearby Wedgeworth Elementary, a Hacienda la Puente Unified school, consistently outperforms Hurley Elementary across all subject areas and grade levels.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
