While Hardwick Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.8 to 13.1 over the past few years, its academic performance has steadily declined, from 125th out of 133 Vermont elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 124th out of 137 in 2024-2025. This trend suggests the school is struggling to improve its outcomes, and the high poverty rates may be impacting student learning and achievement. Addressing these challenges will be crucial for improving the educational opportunities for the students at Hardwick Elementary School.
