Gallatin County Upper Elementary

Summary:

Gallatin County Upper Elementary is a public elementary school in Warsaw, Kentucky, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 290 students. The school is part of the Gallatin County School District, which is ranked 153 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gallatin County Upper Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools, with its performance on state assessments (KSA) significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics ranged from 24-32%, compared to the state average of 41-43%. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 70-73% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to its academic challenges. Compared to nearby higher-performing schools like Steeplechase Elementary, Longbranch Elementary, and Shirley Mann Elementary, all part of the Boone County School District, Gallatin County Upper Elementary's performance is significantly lower.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and student-teacher ratio, which are comparable to nearby schools, Gallatin County Upper Elementary has been a consistently low-performing school for several years. Addressing the school's challenges will likely require a multifaceted approach targeting instructional quality, school leadership, and community engagement to improve academic outcomes for its 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.
