Summary:
The Hartford, New York area is home to two schools: Hartford Middle/High School and Floyd Harwood Elementary School, both part of the Hartford Central School District. While the schools share a similar demographic makeup, with over 94% of students identifying as white, they exhibit distinct performance characteristics.
Hartford Middle/High School stands out as a high-performing institution, boasting consistently high graduation rates of 97.1% and a 0.0% dropout rate. The school's students excel on state assessments, particularly in math, where they outperform the district and state averages across multiple grade levels. Additionally, the school ranks among the top 25% of New York high schools, a testament to its quality.
In contrast, Floyd Harwood Elementary School has a higher spending per student at $22,131, compared to $15,229 at the high school. While the elementary school's performance on state assessments is more mixed, with some grade levels outperforming the district and state, others fall behind. The lower student-to-teacher ratio at the elementary school suggests a greater allocation of resources, which could be an area for further investigation to understand its impact on academic outcomes.
