Elementary Schools in Owensboro Independent

The Owensboro Independent school district in Kentucky is home to 5 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools within the district, with notable standouts and areas for improvement.

Newton Parrish Elementary and Sutton Elementary consistently rank among the top elementary schools in Kentucky, with test scores well above the district and state averages. In contrast, Estes Elementary, Foust Elementary, and Cravens Elementary struggle to match the academic achievements of their higher-performing peers, indicating potential challenges that need to be addressed.

The data also reveals significant differences in the socioeconomic backgrounds of the student populations, with free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 46% at Sutton Elementary to over 90% at Cravens Elementary. This suggests that resource allocation and support may need to be tailored to the unique needs of each school community within the Owensboro Independent district to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
