Blaine Elementary School

Summary:

Blaine Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Blaine, Kentucky, with 162 students. The school is part of the Lawrence County School District, which is ranked 106 out of 159 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Blaine Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past 10 years. The school's academic performance is significantly lower than the state and county averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 22% to 50% in core subjects, compared to 39% to 53% for the state. Blaine's performance is particularly low in Science and Social Studies, and its student subgroups, including white and low-income students, also underperform compared to state averages.

While Fallsburg Elementary School and Louisa West Elementary School, other schools in the Lawrence County district, generally perform better than Blaine, they also serve higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students. The high rate of free and reduced-price lunch at Blaine, ranging from 74% to 78%, suggests that poverty may be a significant factor contributing to the school's lower academic outcomes. Targeted interventions and support could be necessary to help improve student performance at Blaine Elementary School.

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.
