Heber Hunt Elementary

Summary:

Heber Hunt Elementary is a public elementary school in Sedalia, Missouri, serving 413 students in grades K-4. As part of the Sedalia 200 School District, which is ranked 75 out of 376 districts in the state, Heber Hunt stands out for its diverse student population and focus on supporting economically disadvantaged learners.

Compared to nearby schools like Otterville Elementary and Green Ridge Elementary, Heber Hunt has a more racially diverse student body, with 54.72% White, 9.93% African American, 21.07% Hispanic, and 12.59% two or more races. Additionally, Heber Hunt has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 73.85%, compared to the nearby schools' range of 50.31% to 86.93%. Despite these challenges, Heber Hunt maintains a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and has seen improving academic performance for its White students and low-socioeconomic status students in recent years.

While Heber Hunt's overall academic performance is on par with the Sedalia 200 district and the state average, the school stands out for its lower student-teacher ratio of 11.7, compared to the nearby schools' range of 8.2 to 13.9 students per teacher. This suggests a focus on providing a supportive learning environment for the diverse and economically disadvantaged student population. However, the school's performance for Hispanic students and students with disabilities could be an area for further improvement, as these subgroups have lower rankings compared to other subgroups.

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.
