Summary:

Hart-Ransom Union Elementary has one school, Hart-Ransom Elementary, serving kindergarten through grade 8, with 705 students. In 2025–26, the school’s all-grades English language arts (ELA) result was 3 percentage points above the state, while math was 1 point below and science 7 points below. The most important finding is that results weakened relative to the state across all three subjects: ELA remained above state level, but math and science fell below it.

Hart-Ransom Elementary has a striking grade-level high in 8th-grade ELA: 73% met the standard, 24 points above the state. Grade 6 also stood out, with ELA 13 points and math 11 points above state results. The clearest shortfalls were in 4th-grade ELA, 11 points below the state, 7th-grade math, 10 points below, and 8th-grade science, 11 points below. Across all grades, ELA is the school’s strongest subject relative to the state, while science has the largest overall gap. These contrasts show that the school’s results vary considerably by grade and subject, rather than presenting the same picture for every student.

From 2024–25 to 2025–26, school scores fell by 3 points in ELA, 4 in math, and 4 in science, while state results rose in each subject. The school’s advantage over the state narrowed by 4 points in ELA; its math margin shifted from 4 points above to 1 below, and its science margin from 1 above to 7 below. SchoolDigger’s school ranking percentile also declined, from 68th in 2023–24 to 59th in 2025–26; SchoolDigger gives the district 3 stars and ranks it 297th of 968 districts. The student–teacher ratio is 21.5, and 43% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25. Chronic absenteeism was 11% in 2025–26, below the state’s 18% but above the district’s 6%. Because this is the only school listed, there is no school-to-school comparison.
