Best Public Schools in Hartly, DE

Summary:

The city of Hartly, Delaware has only one school, Hartly Elementary School, which serves grades K-4 with an enrollment of 257 students. As the sole educational institution in the area, Hartly Elementary School plays a crucial role in the community's academic landscape.

Hartly Elementary School appears to be a relatively strong performer compared to the broader Capital School District and the state of Delaware. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates on the Smarter Balanced Assessments and DeSSA exams were generally higher than the district and statewide averages, particularly in 3rd grade English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, suggesting its performance may be variable or inconsistent.

While Hartly Elementary School appears to be a strong performer, it faces some challenges. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 20.4% in the 2023-2024 school year is concerning and may be an area for the school to focus on improving. Additionally, with only one school in the Hartly area, the community may have limited educational options, which could be an important consideration for families and policymakers in the region.
