Hayes Elementary

Summary:

Hayes Elementary is a public elementary school located in San Jose, California, serving 477 students in grades K-6. It is part of the Oak Grove Elementary School District, which is ranked 689 out of 1,568 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Hayes Elementary has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 11.7% in 2017-2018 to 36.8% in 2021-2022 (notably higher than the 25.0% district average at nearby Del Roble Elementary), the school's academic performance is also a concern. Proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's English Language Arts proficiency rate was 36.21%, compared to 46.05% for the district and 47.04% for the state. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student groups, with Asian and English Language Learner students performing relatively better, while Hispanic and Low Socioeconomic Status students perform significantly worse.

When compared to other nearby schools in the Oak Grove Elementary School District, Hayes Elementary generally performs worse in academic proficiency rates, with the exception of Indigo and Oak Ridge Elementary, which outperform Hayes across multiple subject areas and grade levels. The success of these higher-performing schools within the same district suggests that there may be effective practices or strategies that could be replicated at Hayes Elementary to address the challenges it faces and improve overall student achievement.

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.
