Elementary Schools in Green County

The Green County school district in Kentucky is home to two elementary schools: Green County Primary School and Green County Intermediate School. While both schools serve economically disadvantaged student populations, they exhibit distinct performance profiles.

Green County Primary School stands out as a strong performer, ranking 4 out of 5 stars on SchoolDigger and maintaining a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.9. The school also spends a relatively high amount of $13,583 per student, suggesting a focus on resources and support. In contrast, Green County Intermediate School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 285th out of 684 schools in 2021-2022 to 346th out of 685 schools in 2023-2024.

While Green County Intermediate School performs above the state average in mathematics and reading proficiency for grades 3-5, it lags behind in other subjects like science, writing, and social studies. This disparity in subject-specific performance suggests the need for a more balanced and comprehensive approach to curriculum and instruction. Both schools face the challenge of serving a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with over 64% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to their performance and resource needs.
