Strode Station Elementary School

Q: Is Strode Station Elementary School a good school?

Strode Station Elementary School ranks 388 th of 685 Kentucky elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Strode Station Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Winchester, Kentucky, serving grades K-4 with a total enrollment of 506 students. The school is part of the Clark County School District, which is ranked 128 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Strode Station Elementary School has consistently ranked higher than the Clark County and Kentucky state averages in mathematics and reading proficiency for 3rd and 4th grades over the past few years. However, the school has experienced a decline in its statewide ranking, from 118 out of 694 Kentucky elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 388 out of 685 in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school's performance may have declined relative to other schools in the state, despite its strong academic performance compared to the local district and state averages. Additionally, the school has shown stronger performance for female and white students compared to male and Hispanic students, indicating an achievement gap that the school may need to address.

Strode Station Elementary School has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 59.68% to 62.85% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average and indicates a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. This may contribute to the achievement gaps observed between different student subgroups, as research has shown that socioeconomic status can be a significant factor in academic performance. While Strode Station Elementary School generally outperforms the nearby schools in the Clark County School District, some schools outside the district, such as Boonesborough Elementary and Athens-Chilesburg Elementary in the Fayette County School District, have significantly higher academic performance and rankings.

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.
