Hartly Elementary School

Summary:

Hartly Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 246 students in grades K-4 in the Capital School District in Hartly, Delaware. The school has a predominantly White student population, with smaller percentages of Hispanic, African American, and multiracial students.

Hartly Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state in academic assessments, with 54.55% of 3rd graders and 37.74% of 4th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 35.48% and 28.1% for the district, and 39.45% and 39.05% for the state, respectively. In Mathematics, 48.21% of 3rd graders and 33.33% of 4th graders at Hartly Elementary were proficient or better, compared to 30.51% and 29.78% for the district, and 43.61% and 38.89% for the state. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 14.3% in 2018-2019 to 26.9% in 2022-2023, which is an area of concern.

Hartly Elementary's academic performance is generally stronger than the nearby Booker T. Washington Elementary, North Dover Elementary, and Fairview Elementary schools in the Capital School District. However, the school's performance has fluctuated over the years, and there are some gender and racial disparities in academic outcomes that the school may need to address to ensure equitable learning opportunities for all students.

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.
