John M. Stumbo Elementary School

Summary:

John M. Stumbo Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Grethel, Kentucky, with 280 students. The school is part of the Floyd County School District, which is ranked 111 out of 159 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While John M. Stumbo Elementary School was once a top-performing school in the state, ranking in the top 5-24 out of over 700 elementary schools from 2014-2018, its academic performance has declined significantly in recent years. The school now ranks 410 out of 685 elementary schools in Kentucky, with proficiency rates in math and reading generally below the state and county averages. The school's performance has been uneven across different student subgroups, with female and special education students performing relatively well in the past, while male, white, and economically disadvantaged students have seen more inconsistent results.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $14,577 and $13,516 in the 2018-19 and 2017-18 school years, respectively, and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to some nearby schools, the decline in academic outcomes is concerning. When compared to other schools in the Floyd County and surrounding districts, John M. Stumbo Elementary School generally performs below average in both math and reading proficiency rates. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive review of the school's instructional practices, resource allocation, and support for underperforming student populations.

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.
