Best Public Schools in Hartly, DE

Summary:

The city of Hartly, Delaware has only one school serving the community - Hartly Elementary School, a public elementary school serving grades K-4 with a total enrollment of 246 students. While Hartly Elementary is the sole educational option in the area, its performance has been mixed compared to other schools in the Capital School District and across the state of Delaware.

Hartly Elementary School's academic results have fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 52nd out of 104 Delaware elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 38th out of 106 in 2023-2024. The school's performance on Smarter Balanced Assessments has been uneven, with 3rd grade students outperforming the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics, but 4th grade students lagging behind in both subjects. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 26.9% is significantly higher than the state average, which may be contributing to its academic challenges.

Despite these concerns, Hartly Elementary School appears to be well-resourced, with higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to the state average. However, these factors alone do not guarantee strong academic outcomes, and the school may need to examine how its resources are being utilized to support student learning and address the specific needs of the Hartly community. As the sole educational option in the area, Hartly Elementary School has an important role to play in ensuring all students in Hartly have access to a high-quality education.
