Summary

C. W. Haman Elementary is a public K-5 school serving about 324 students in the Santa Clara Unified School District, representing a mid-tier option in a neighborhood with an unusually wide range of school performance.

Academic results at Haman can be quite volatile from year to year, and the school faces challenges in serving all student groups consistently, with significant performance gaps for economically disadvantaged students and a notable drop in math scores by 5th grade. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 17.3% is higher than the district average, and it spends more per student ($33,117) than some higher-achieving neighbors like Millikin Elementary and Central Park Elementary.

Compared to nearby schools, Haman's results are generally below the Santa Clara Unified district averages. Its performance is similar to schools like Briarwood Elementary, but it lags behind others in the area such as Sutter Elementary. Interestingly, Dwight D. Eisenhower Elementary in the neighboring Cupertino Union district achieves stronger academic outcomes with significantly lower per-student spending.
