Hamilton Tk-8

Summary:

Hamilton Tk-8 is a public elementary school serving 531 students in grades K-8 in Novato, California, which is part of the Novato Unified School District. However, the school has consistently underperformed the district and state averages in academic achievement, with only 33.33% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and just 23.77% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 53.52% and 40.82% for the district, respectively.

Hamilton Tk-8's struggles extend beyond academics, as the school has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.6% in 2018-2019 to 21.2% in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school serves a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 57.82% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This combination of academic underperformance and socioeconomic challenges suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying issues and improve student outcomes.

Interestingly, despite being located in the same district, Hamilton Tk-8 is significantly underperforming compared to nearby schools like Rancho Elementary, Olive Elementary, and Loma Verde Elementary, which consistently rank in the top 30-40% of California elementary schools. This suggests that the challenges faced by Hamilton Tk-8 may be unique and require a tailored approach to address the specific needs of the school and its student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
