Summary:
The city of Lockhart, Alabama has only one public elementary school, WS Harlan Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. Located in Covington County, the school has consistently underperformed compared to state and county averages on key metrics like test scores and school performance rankings.
WS Harlan Elementary has been ranked in the bottom half of Alabama elementary schools for the past three years, earning a 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) are generally lower than the county and state averages across all grade levels, with its weakest performance in 5th grade Mathematics. Additionally, the school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 68.81% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
While the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16.4 to 1 suggests potential staffing resources, the consistently low performance and underperformance in core academic areas indicate that WS Harlan Elementary may be facing significant challenges in improving student outcomes. Further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to help the school better serve the educational needs of its students.
