West Broadway Elementary School

Summary:

West Broadway Elementary School is a public elementary school in Madisonville, Kentucky, serving 358 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Hopkins County School District.

West Broadway Elementary School has shown strong academic performance, ranking in the top half of Kentucky elementary schools in recent years, with a peak ranking of 80 out of 705 schools in 2013-2014. The school's performance in core subjects like Mathematics, Reading, and Science is generally on par or above the Hopkins County and Kentucky state averages, particularly in Reading, where 3rd and 4th-grade students have consistently outperformed the state average. However, the school's performance for its African American and disabled student subgroups lags behind the state average, suggesting an opportunity for improvement in addressing the needs of these student populations.

While West Broadway Elementary School performs comparably or better than other nearby schools in the Hopkins County district, such as Southside Elementary and Grapevine Elementary, it lags behind the top-performing school in the district, Pride Elementary, which consistently ranks among the top 100 elementary schools in Kentucky. Additionally, the school faces challenges in addressing the needs of its low-socioeconomic and disabled student populations, as well as in closing the achievement gap between its male and female 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.
