Hartley Elementary School

Summary:

Hartley Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Lincoln, Nebraska, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 344 students. The school is part of the Lincoln Public Schools district, which is ranked 138 out of 212 districts in Nebraska and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hartley Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of African American (18.9%), Hispanic (24.71%), and students of two or more races (11.63%). However, the school consistently underperforms the Lincoln Public Schools and Nebraska state averages in proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels. For example, in 2022-2023, the school's 3rd-grade proficiency rates were 40% in ELA and 36% in Math, compared to the district's 62% and 56% respectively.

While Hartley Elementary has a higher per-student spending ($19,911 in 2022-2023) and a lower student-teacher ratio (9.7 in 2022-2023) compared to nearby schools like Huntington Elementary School, McPhee Elementary School, Clinton Elementary School, and Elliott Elementary School, the school still struggles academically. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and resources, such as curriculum, instructional practices, and school leadership, may be more critical in driving student success.

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.
