Summary:
Hugh Hartman Elementary is a public elementary school in Redmond, Oregon, serving 386 students in grades K-5 and part of the Redmond School District 2J.
Academically, Hugh Hartman Elementary has struggled compared to the district and state averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics were below the Redmond School District 2J and Oregon state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 5th grade, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 60%, compared to 58% for the district and 46.9% for the state, while its 5th grade Mathematics proficiency rate was only 22.2%, significantly lower than the district's 41.8% and the state's 31.4%. The school's performance has been relatively consistent over the past three years, with its ranking among Oregon elementary schools declining from 307 in 2021-2022 to 356 in 2023-2024.
Interestingly, the nearby Tumalo Community School, also part of the Redmond School District 2J, has consistently outperformed Hugh Hartman Elementary, ranking 96th out of 710 Oregon elementary schools in the 2023-2024 school year with a 4-star rating, compared to Hugh Hartman Elementary's 356th ranking and 2-star rating. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Hugh Hartman Elementary, 67.1% in 2022-2023, may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance, as socioeconomic status is often correlated with educational outcomes. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending suggest that resources are not the primary issue, and other factors, such as curriculum, instructional practices, or school climate, may be influencing the school's performance.
