Hamlin Pk-8

Summary:

Hamlin Pk-8 is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Hamlin, West Virginia, with a student population of 434. The school is part of the Lincoln County Schools district, which is ranked 44 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hamlin Pk-8 consistently ranks in the bottom half of West Virginia elementary schools, typically in the 200s or 300s out of around 380 schools. The school's performance on state assessments is generally below the state and district averages in both math and English language arts across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of students proficient or better in math ranged from 20.5% in 3rd grade to 50% in 8th grade, compared to the state averages of 53.2% in 3rd grade and 28.7% in 8th grade. Hamlin Pk-8 also struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, particularly those with special needs or from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the bottom 20% of West Virginia elementary schools for these student populations.

While Hamlin Pk-8's academic performance is concerning, the nearby schools in the Lincoln County district, such as Ranger Elementary and Duval Pk-8, also perform poorly on state assessments and have low rankings compared to other West Virginia elementary schools. In contrast, some schools outside the Lincoln County district, such as Conner Street Elementary in Putnam County and Culloden Elementary in Cabell County, demonstrate significantly higher academic achievement and rankings.

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.
