Elementary Schools in Hardin County CUSD 1

Summary:

The Hardin County Elementary School is the sole elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Hardin County CUSD 1 district. With an enrollment of 234 students, the school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking and star rating over the past few years, indicating inconsistent performance.

The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% and mixed proficiency rates in ELA and Math across different grade levels suggest potential areas for improvement. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 10.9 could be a strength, potentially providing more individualized attention for students. Additionally, the school's high free/reduced lunch rate of 68.38% and above-average spending per student of $23,654 indicate that it serves a socioeconomically disadvantaged population, which may contribute to the academic challenges.

Overall, the data suggests that Hardin County Elementary School is facing some academic and demographic challenges, but also has some potential strengths that could be leveraged to improve student outcomes. Further analysis and targeted interventions may be needed to address the school's areas of concern and support the success of its students.
