Floyd Harwood Elementary School

Q: Is Floyd Harwood Elementary School a good school?

Floyd Harwood Elementary School ranks 1478 th of 2445 New York elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Floyd Harwood Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 151 students in grades PK-5 in Hartford, New York, which is part of the Hartford Central School District. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it has consistently performed below the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency across grades 3-5, with significant achievement gaps among different student subgroups.

Compared to nearby schools, Argyle Elementary School outperformed Floyd Harwood Elementary School on state assessments, with a 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate of 64.29% compared to 50% at Floyd Harwood. Additionally, the school's ranking has declined over the years, from 973 out of 2,201 New York elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 1,478 out of 2,445 in 2023-2024, suggesting it is not keeping pace with improvements in other schools across the state.

The school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, up to 50.58% in 2020-2021, may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance. The Hartford Central School District should closely examine these findings and develop a comprehensive plan to address the identified areas of concern, with a focus on improving instructional practices, curriculum, and support for students from disadvantaged backgrounds.

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.
