Hartford Junior/Senior High School

Summary:

Hartford Junior/Senior High School is a public school serving grades 6-12 in Hartford, Kansas, with a total enrollment of 107 students. The school is part of the Southern Lyon County school district, which is ranked 119 out of 266 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively small size and low student-teacher ratio, Hartford Junior/Senior High School has consistently underperformed compared to the state and district averages in standardized test scores for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 13.32% of Hartford students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 33.69% in the Southern Lyon County district and 33.55% statewide. The school also has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 61.68% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year.

Compared to nearby schools like Madison High and Olpe Junior/Senior High School, Hartford Junior/Senior High School significantly underperforms in academic metrics, with much lower proficiency rates in ELA, Mathematics, and Science. Despite spending more per student than these nearby schools, Hartford's consistently poor academic performance and low rankings indicate that the school may need to implement more targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes.

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.
