The school's 84.3% graduation rate and 4.9% dropout rate are also noteworthy. However, the high school faces challenges with a chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%. Meanwhile, Floyd Harwood Elementary School spends significantly more per student ($22,131) compared to the high school ($15,229), but its overall performance lags behind, with 5th grade ELA proficiency as low as 17.65%.

The data analysis suggests that the Hartford Central School District is prioritizing early childhood education, as evidenced by the higher spending per student at the elementary school. However, this higher funding does not seem to be translating to better outcomes at the elementary level. The district may need to address attendance issues and explore ways to improve academic performance at the elementary school, while continuing to build on the strengths of Hartford Middle/High School.
