Hacienda’s proficiency was 66% in ELA, 65% in math and 61% in science. That compares with state rates of 49%, 38% and 36%, respectively, and district rates of 51%, 42% and 41%. Among nine nearby K–5 schools, Hacienda ranked third in ELA and math and second in science; its results were above the nearby-school averages by 15 points in ELA, 19 in math and 21 in science.
