Summary:
Zip code 93232 in Hanford, California, is served by one elementary school, George Washington Elementary, which educates 460 students from kindergarten through 6th grade within the Hanford Elementary school district.
George Washington Elementary shows a positive trend, having improved its statewide ranking over the past few years. The school's performance in English Language Arts is a relative strength, with proficiency rates in 5th and 6th grades exceeding the California state average. However, the school faces academic challenges, particularly in mathematics, where student proficiency declines steadily from 3rd to 6th grade, and in science, where scores are notably below the state average.
The school serves a community where a high percentage of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite this, it maintains a chronic absenteeism rate better than the state average. With per-student spending above $14,000, the school has significant resources, and its improving trajectory suggests these investments may be starting to show results, though translating them into stronger math and science outcomes remains a key focus.
