Summary:
The Waseca Public School District has one elementary school, Hartley Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 3rd grade with a total enrollment of 449 students.
Hartley Elementary has a predominantly White student population (73.05%), with significant Hispanic (15.81%) and two or more races (6.24%) representation. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school outperformed the district and state in MCA-III Math proficiency, but saw a decline in both Math and Reading proficiency the following year, falling behind the district and state averages. Over 50% of Hartley Elementary students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a population with lower socioeconomic status, which may be a factor in the school's academic performance.
With only one elementary school in the district, there is limited data to make meaningful comparisons. Expanding the data set to include more schools in the Waseca Public School District would provide a more comprehensive understanding of the district's educational landscape and enable deeper insights into the factors influencing student outcomes at Hartley Elementary.
