Summary

Henry F. Kammann Elementary is a 743-student K–6 school in Salinas, California, in the Salinas City Elementary School District. The most important concern is that 2025–26 proficiency was below California’s in all three tested subjects: about 25% in English language arts (ELA), 19% in math and 18% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38% and 36%, respectively. Its relative strength in local science results does not make up for those statewide gaps.

Science is the school’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools and its district: its 18% proficiency was above the district’s 16% and the ten nearby schools’ 14% average, ranking third among the 11 schools. ELA was near the peer average (25% versus 26%), while math was essentially level with it (19% versus 19%); ELA and math ranked sixth and seventh, respectively. Results also differ by grade: fifth-grade ELA was 31%, above the district’s 30% and second-highest among the 11 schools, while sixth-grade ELA was 24%, 11 points below the district and near the bottom among comparable schools.

ELA has improved over time, rising from 18% in 2022–23 to 25% in 2025–26, while math edged up from 17% to 19% and science slipped from 20% to 18%. Chronic absenteeism also fell substantially, from 46% in 2021–22 to 24% in 2025–26, though it remains above the state’s 18% and district’s 20%. SchoolDigger placed the school at the 12th percentile statewide in 2025–26 (1 star), up from the 7th percentile the prior year. Context includes a 23.9 student–teacher ratio in 2024–25, the second-highest among the 11 schools, and 73% of students free/reduced lunch eligible that year, close to the nearby-school average of 73%. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings show a notable shift for Special Education Students: from the 63rd percentile in 2023–24 to the 1st in 2024–25 and 2nd in 2025–26, while the school overall ranked at the 17th, 7th and 12th percentiles in those years.
