Of the 4,901 students attending Hardee County district schools, 61.8% were Hispanic. White students were the second largest ethnicity in Hardee County district (29.7%).
In the previous school year, hispanic students were the most common group in Hardee County district, representing 62.6% of the student body.
In the 2022-23 school year, the total number of students enrolled in the county dropped 0.8% when compared to the previous year.
Florida's choice to stick with in-person classes during the pandemic may have shielded students from significant learning setbacks. A recent Harvard study highlighted that districts heavily reliant on remote learning saw the most significant declines in student achievement amid the COVID-19 crisis.
“Interestingly, gaps in math achievement by race and school poverty did not widen in school districts in states such as Texas and Florida and elsewhere that remained largely in-person,” said Thomas Kane, professor at Harvard Graduate School of Education.
