West Irvine Elementary

Summary:

West Irvine Elementary is a public elementary school serving 468 students in grades K-5 in Irvine, Kentucky, which is part of the Estill County School District. Unfortunately, the school has consistently underperformed academically, ranking in the bottom 20-30% of Kentucky elementary schools for several years.

West Irvine Elementary's academic performance lags behind both the Estill County and Kentucky state averages, with only 26-41% of students proficient in reading and math, compared to 34-50% in the county and 41-47% statewide. The school's 1-star rating from SchoolDigger reflects its struggles, which extend across various student subgroups. Additionally, West Irvine Elementary's high free/reduced lunch rate of 67.8-69.23% indicates a significant level of economic disadvantage among its student population.

Interestingly, the nearby Estill Springs Elementary, also in the Estill County district, consistently outperforms West Irvine Elementary on standardized tests and has a higher 2-star rating. When compared to schools in the higher-performing Madison County district, such as Daniel Boone Elementary and Kingston Elementary, the academic achievement gap is even more pronounced, with these schools significantly outperforming West Irvine Elementary across all subject areas and grade levels.

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.
