John T. Hartman Elementary

Summary:

John T. Hartman Elementary is a public elementary school in Kansas City, Missouri, serving 317 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Kansas City 33 school district, which is ranked 335 out of 376 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

John T. Hartman Elementary faces significant challenges, including a student population that is 79.18% African American, well above the range of 22.89% to 95.95% at nearby schools like Hale Cook Elementary and Border Star Montessori. The school consistently performs below state and district averages in MAP test proficiency, with its 3rd-grade math proficiency rate at 47% compared to the state average of 41.1% and the district average of 17.4%. Additionally, over 99% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Despite these challenges, John T. Hartman Elementary performs relatively well in terms of its African American and low-socioeconomic status student subgroups, ranking in the top 20% and top 30% of Missouri elementary schools, respectively, in recent years. This suggests the school may be effectively addressing the unique needs of these traditionally underperforming student populations. However, the school's overall ranking, between 585 and 927 out of over 1,000 schools in Missouri, remains in the bottom quarter, and its 1- or 2-star SchoolDigger rating indicates significant room for improvement.

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.
