Summary

Halkin Elementary in San Leandro serves grades K–5 and enrolls 724 students, the largest enrollment among the 11 nearby schools compared. Its most important challenge is that 2025–2026 proficiency was below both the state and district in all three tested subjects: ELA was 28%, math 24%, and science 21%. The state gaps were 21 points in ELA, 15 in math, and 15 in science, and those gaps have widened since 2022–2023.

Against nearby schools, Halkin is around the middle in ELA and science but lower-middle in math: it ranks sixth of 11 in ELA and science and seventh in math. Its ELA result is about 1 point below the nearby-school average, math is 2 points below, and science is essentially even. ELA is Halkin’s weakest subject against the state and San Leandro Unified, with shortfalls of 21 and 14 points. Math is closest to the district, 6 points behind, but is Halkin’s weakest result relative to nearby schools. These comparisons make ELA the clearest concern against broader benchmarks and math the weaker area among peers.

Results have declined overall since 2022–2023: ELA fell 5 points, math 2, and science 3. Science did rebound by 9 points from 2024–2025, though it remains below its earlier result. Chronic absenteeism also improved, falling from 52% in 2021–2022 to 23% in 2025–2026, but remains 3 points above the district and 4 above the state. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking fell from the 34th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 20th percentile and 1 star in 2025–2026. Context for families includes a 22.4 student–teacher ratio in 2024–2025, second-highest among nearby schools, and 83% of students free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, the second-highest comparable measure among nearby schools. One historical SchoolDigger result stands out: in 2021–2022, its Disabled Students ranking was at the 54th percentile, compared with the school’s overall 23rd percentile, a notably higher measure of how well the school served that group.
