One notable aspect of Hawlemont Regional is its low student-teacher ratio of 9.7 to 1, which may provide students with more personalized attention. However, the school's predominantly white student population of 87.91% suggests a lack of diversity that could impact the learning environment and educational experiences of students. Overall, the data indicates that Hawlemont Regional Elementary School faces academic and demographic challenges that may require further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
