Harmony Middle

Summary:

Harmony Middle is a public middle school located in Hamilton, Virginia, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,083 students. It is part of the Loudoun County Public Schools district, which is ranked 24th out of 130 school districts in Virginia and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Harmony Middle consistently performs above the Loudoun County and Virginia state averages in various SOL (Standards of Learning) assessments, particularly in Algebra I, Geometry, and English Reading. For example, in 2023-2024, 100% of Harmony Middle's 8th graders were proficient or better in SOL Geometry, compared to 97.24% for Loudoun County and 96.66% for Virginia. The school's Asian, African American, and disabled student subgroups also rank among the top 5% to 13% of middle schools in Virginia, indicating strong performance for these student populations. Additionally, Harmony Middle has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.1 to 13.3 over the past three years, which is lower than the surrounding schools such as Eagle Ridge Middle and Trailside Middle.

While Harmony Middle has a higher percentage of white students (75.25%) compared to the surrounding schools, it also has a more diverse socioeconomic population, with 12.47% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023. The school has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, ranking among the top 25% to 40% of middle schools in Virginia, suggesting a consistently high-performing institution. However, the school's performance in 6th and 7th grade mathematics, as well as 8th grade writing, could be areas for further improvement, as the school's proficiency rates in these subjects are lower than the Loudoun County and Virginia averages.

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.
