Summary:
The Kremlin-Hillsdale area is home to two schools: Kremlin-Hillsdale Elementary School and Kremlin-Hillsdale High School. The elementary school stands out for its strong math performance, with 3rd-grade students achieving a 72% proficiency rate, significantly higher than the state average of 34%. In contrast, the high school's statewide ranking has fluctuated considerably, from a high of 33rd out of 350 schools in 2021-2022 to 195th out of 439 schools in 2022-2023.
Demographically, the elementary school has a higher percentage of White students (87.44%) compared to the high school (86.67%), while the high school has a higher percentage of Hispanic students (8.89%) compared to the elementary school (6.53%). Financially, the high school spends significantly more per student ($15,824) compared to the elementary school ($7,365), which could be due to the higher costs associated with high school education. Additionally, the elementary school has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (43.72%) compared to the high school (31.11%), indicating a higher level of economic need in the elementary school's student population.
Overall, the Kremlin-Hillsdale school district provides a diverse educational experience, with the elementary school excelling in math performance and the high school's ranking fluctuating over the years. The differences in demographics and spending between the two schools suggest the district may need to consider how to best allocate resources and support to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the area.
