Summary

Caleb Dustin Hunking School is an elementary school serving grades K-8 in Haverhill, Massachusetts, with 1,064 students. The school consistently performs below the state average on MCAS Next Generation assessments, with proficiency rates of 35.29% in ELA and 42.5% in Math, compared to the state averages of 41.53% and 40.74% respectively. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Caleb Dustin Hunking School ranking between the 50th and 70th percentile of Massachusetts elementary schools in recent years and receiving a low 1- to 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's performance gaps between different student subgroups appear to be widening over time, and its MCAS proficiency rates show significant fluctuations from one year to the next, suggesting a lack of consistent academic progress and improvement. Compared to other elementary schools in the Haverhill district, Caleb Dustin Hunking School generally performs worse on MCAS assessments, though it outperforms some nearby schools, such as Pentucket Lake Elementary and Hill View Montessori Charter Public School, which have even lower rankings and ratings.

Despite increased per-student spending, from $11,549 in 2018-2019 to $15,076 in 2020-2021, the higher spending does not appear to have translated into improved academic outcomes for Caleb Dustin Hunking School. Addressing the school's challenges will require a comprehensive approach to improve the educational outcomes for all students.
