Hermitage Elementary School also has a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating a high-poverty student population, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools, which range from 77.2% to 99.75% free and reduced lunch. Despite the school's higher spending per student, it has a student-teacher ratio of 14.8, which is higher than the nearby schools, which range from 13.2 to 16 students per teacher. These factors suggest that Hermitage Elementary School may need to explore strategies that have proven successful in similar high-poverty contexts, such as targeted interventions, professional development for teachers, and more effective use of available resources.
