Garth Elementary School

Summary:

Garth Elementary School is a public elementary school in Georgetown, Kentucky, serving 368 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Scott County School District, which is ranked 80 out of 159 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of the Scott County district, Garth Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has struggled to perform well across different student subgroups, particularly for special education and low-income students. Garth Elementary's proficiency rates in core subjects like Mathematics, Reading, and Writing are lower than the district and state averages.

Interestingly, the nearby elementary schools in the Scott County School District, such as Eastern Elementary, Lemons Mill Elementary, and Western Elementary, generally outperform Garth Elementary School in terms of statewide rankings, academic achievement, and student group performance. This suggests that factors beyond funding and staffing, such as socioeconomic status, may be influencing the school's lower academic outcomes.

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.
