Harts Pk-8 has a very homogeneous student population, with over 99% of students identifying as White, significantly higher than the state average and the racial makeup of nearby schools. The school has shown mixed academic performance, with some grade levels and subjects outperforming the state and district averages, while others lag behind. For example, 4th-grade students at Harts Pk-8 had 69% proficiency in both Math and English Language Arts, significantly higher than the state and district averages, but 8th-grade students struggled, with only 28.6% proficient in Math and ELA. The school has shown strong performance for its low socioeconomic status (SES) students, ranking in the top 20% of West Virginia elementary schools in this category for the past three school years, but its performance for special education students has been consistently in the bottom 20% of the state.

Harts Pk-8 generally outperforms the nearby Duval Pk-8 school, which is also part of the Lincoln County Schools district. However, the school lags behind some of the higher-performing schools in the neighboring Logan County and Mingo County school districts, such as Logan Elementary School and Verdunville Elementary School. Despite the high percentage of students from low-SES backgrounds, Harts Pk-8 has been able to perform well for this student group, suggesting effective strategies for supporting economically disadvantaged students.

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.
