Hartridge Academy

Congratulations to Hartridge students and staff as they celebrate over fifteen years of  academic success as a parental choice in free public education for Polk County families!

   The success of our former students is the most authentic and consistent evidence of our popular award winning program. For those who choose to measure simply by a school grade, Hartridge has been awarded an "A" most years and never lower than a "B". .

    Despite a waiting pool of applicants that could double our enrollment, we choose to remain a small school.  The benefits of each staff member knowing each child and parent has proven to be a strong ingredient for student success and safety.  Our scheduling for one on one time for each family throughout the year strengthens the learning process as well as the home to school relationship.
