Best Public Schools in Topmost, KY

Summary:

The city of Topmost, Kentucky has only one public elementary school, Beaver Creek Elementary School, which serves grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 196 students. The school is part of the Knott County school district, which is ranked 79 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Beaver Creek Elementary School's academic performance on state assessments (KSA) is generally below the Knott County and Kentucky state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 8th grade reading, the school's proficiency rate is 32% compared to 50% for Knott County and 41% for the state. In 4th grade science, Beaver Creek's proficiency rate is only 14% compared to 42% for Knott County and 34% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low in science and editing/mechanics, with proficiency rates often below 20%.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.2 and higher per-student spending of $13,804 for the 2018-2019 school year, the academic challenges persist. This raises questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources within the school and district to support student learning. Additionally, the high percentage of students (80.1%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch indicates that Beaver Creek Elementary School serves a population with significant economic disadvantages, which may contribute to the school's academic challenges and highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of the student population.
