East Hardy Elementary School

Summary:

East Hardy Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Baker, West Virginia, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 339. The school is part of the Hardy County Schools district, which is ranked 49 out of 55 districts in West Virginia and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

East Hardy Elementary School faces several key challenges. The school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (97.64%) compared to the state average and nearby schools like Moorefield Elementary School and Moorefield Intermediate School. Academically, the school consistently underperforms compared to the state and county averages in standardized test scores for mathematics, English language arts, and science, ranking in the bottom quartile of West Virginia elementary schools. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with male students and special education students generally performing better than the school's overall average.

Additionally, East Hardy Elementary School has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (48.9%), indicating that the school may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges. While the school is part of the Hardy County Schools district, it performs significantly worse than the nearby Moorefield Elementary School and Moorefield Intermediate School, suggesting that factors beyond just the district-level may be contributing to the school's poor performance.

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.
