Summary:

Hickman County Elementary School is a public elementary school in Clinton, Kentucky, serving 421 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Hickman County School District, which is ranked 18 out of 159 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Hickman County Elementary has shown mixed performance on state assessments, with some grade levels and subjects outperforming the state average, while others underperform. For example, the school had higher proficiency rates than the state in 3rd grade reading, 4th grade reading, and 5th grade writing, but lower rates in 3rd grade math, 5th grade math, and 6th grade reading. The school's overall statewide ranking has fluctuated between 159 and 351 out of 684-687 Kentucky elementary schools. Interestingly, the school's performance for low-socioeconomic status students is generally better than its overall performance, ranking 184 out of 665 elementary schools in this subgroup.

When compared to nearby schools, Hickman County Elementary lags behind the higher-performing Graves County schools, such as Graves County Central Elementary and Wingo Elementary.

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.
