Hardeeville Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Hardeeville, South Carolina, with a student population of 610 and a student-teacher ratio of 16.9. The school is part of the Jasper 01 school district, which is ranked 70 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hardeeville Elementary consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in South Carolina, ranking in the bottom 10% of schools for the past several years. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels. This is in contrast to nearby schools, such as Ridgeland Elementary and schools in the Beaufort 01 district, which generally perform better academically.

Hardeeville Elementary has a highly diverse student population, with a majority Hispanic (56.39%) and African American (35.9%) student body, which is notably different from the nearby schools. Additionally, the school has a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate, indicating that all students come from low-income households. Despite the higher spending per student at Hardeeville Elementary ($12,009 in 2021-2022), the school's academic outcomes have not improved, raising questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources to support student learning and achievement.

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.
