Middle Schools in Hartford School District

Summary:

The Hartford School District in Vermont has only one middle school, Hartford Memorial Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, ranking as high as 21st out of 50 schools statewide in 2022-2023 but dropping to 41st out of 85 schools in 2023-2024.

Academically, Hartford Memorial Middle School has mixed results compared to state averages. While 8th grade students perform above the state average in English Language Arts, 6th and 7th graders score slightly below. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates are below the state average across all three grade levels. The school's 8th grade Science proficiency rate is also significantly lower than the state average. With a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.8, the school may be able to provide more individualized attention, but its high chronic absenteeism rate of 37.9% in 2023-2024 is a concerning issue that could impact student learning.

Without any other middle schools in the Hartford School District to compare to, it is difficult to fully evaluate the performance of Hartford Memorial Middle School. However, the data suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes, particularly in Mathematics and Science, as well as addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate.
