Harman Elementary/High School

Summary:

Harman Elementary/High School is a small alternative public school in Harman, West Virginia, serving grades PK-12 with a student population of 132. The school is part of the Randolph County Schools district, which is ranked 54th out of 55 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Harman Elementary/High School faces significant academic challenges, as evidenced by its consistently low proficiency rates in core subject areas compared to the district and state averages. In 2023-2024, only 15.4% of 4th graders, 20% of 5th graders, and 0% of 7th and 8th graders were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 37%, 27%, 21.1%, and 10.3% for Randolph County, respectively. Similarly, the school's English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates are also lower than the district and state averages. The school's science proficiency rates are more mixed, with some grades performing better than the district average.

The school's unique characteristics, such as its high free and reduced lunch rate of 50% and its relatively low student-teacher ratio ranging from 9.8 to 10.1, may contribute to the observed academic challenges. While these factors may provide more individualized attention for students, the consistently low performance across multiple grade levels and subject areas suggests that the school may face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. Targeted interventions and support, in collaboration with the district and state education authorities, could be beneficial in addressing the school's academic performance issues.

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.
