Summary:

Audubon Elementary School is a public elementary school in Owensboro, Kentucky, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 387 students. The school is part of the Daviess County School District, which is ranked 61 out of 159 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Audubon Elementary's performance is generally lower than the Daviess County and Kentucky state averages, with some exceptions. While the school's 4th-grade reading proficiency rate of 63% is higher than the district and state, its 3rd-grade math proficiency of 43% is lower than the 48% for Daviess County and the state average. Audubon's 5th-grade science and writing proficiency rates are particularly low, at 25% and 36%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 34% and 39%. The school's ranking among Kentucky elementary schools has fluctuated over the years, with a high of 109 out of 705 in 2013-2014 and a low of 381 out of 684 in 2021-2022.

Compared to nearby schools, Highland Elementary and Tamarack Elementary have higher proficiency rates in most subjects, while Audubon outperforms some Owensboro Independent schools, such as Estes Elementary and Cravens Elementary. Audubon's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (64.6% in 2022-2023) suggests that the school serves a higher proportion of students from low-income families, which may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance.

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.
