Bowling Green Learning Center

Summary:

Bowling Green Learning Center is a small, public virtual high school serving grades 6-12 in the Bowling Green Independent School District. With only 44 students, the school has a diverse student population, though it significantly underperforms compared to nearby traditional high schools like Bowling Green High School and South Warren High School.

Bowling Green Learning Center's academic performance is particularly concerning, with only 7% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in ACT English, Math, and Reading, compared to 50%, 41%, and 47% respectively for the Bowling Green Independent School District, and 47%, 33%, and 44% for the state of Kentucky. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Kentucky high schools, and its performance is especially low for specific student subgroups, such as male students, white students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students.

Bowling Green Learning Center's high rate of free and reduced lunch recipients, at 84.09%, may be a contributing factor to its poor academic outcomes. Additionally, the school's status as a virtual learning environment could also play a role. With a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the effective allocation of resources and funding within the school and district is worth further examination to understand how to best support the unique needs of Bowling Green Learning Center's students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
