Summary:

While Hart County High School has a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 94.2%, its academic performance is generally below the state average. The school's proficiency rates on standardized tests, such as the ACT and Kentucky State Assessments, are lower than the state averages, with the exception of 10th-grade reading. The school's performance across different student subgroups has been inconsistent, with Hispanic students performing well but Gifted and Talented students and Special Education students showing more varied results. Interestingly, the nearby Barren County High School has consistently outperformed Hart County High School in academic metrics.

Hart County High School faces challenges related to its high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 55.38% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's per-student spending has fluctuated over the years, and its student-teacher ratio has decreased, suggesting a potential increase in resources dedicated to student support. However, the school's overall academic performance and the varying results across student subgroups indicate the need for targeted interventions and resource allocation to address these disparities and improve student outcomes.

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.
