Silver Creek Elementary School

Summary:

Silver Creek Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Berea, Kentucky, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 512 students. The school is part of the Madison County School District, which is ranked 23 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and is rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

While Silver Creek Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the Madison County and Kentucky state averages in most academic subjects, including mathematics, reading, science, and writing, the school's performance in reading is slightly better. However, the school has consistently lower rankings for specific student subgroups, such as female students, male students, white students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students, compared to other Kentucky elementary schools.

Interestingly, Silver Creek Elementary School's performance is generally lower than the nearby schools in the Madison County district, such as Daniel Boone Elementary, Kit Carson Elementary, Kirksville Elementary, and Shannon Johnson Elementary. This may be due to the school's high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, as well as its decreasing per-student spending and relatively high student-teacher ratio, which could be impacting the school's ability to provide the necessary support and interventions 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.
