Creekside Elementary

Q: Is Creekside Elementary a good school?

Creekside Elementary ranks 510 th of 685 Kentucky elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Creekside Elementary is a public elementary school in Georgetown, Kentucky, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade. 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.

Creekside Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 272 out of 684 Kentucky elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 510 out of 685 in 2023-2024, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance has been particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as male students, Hispanic students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, who have consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools. Creekside Elementary's proficiency rates in mathematics, reading, science, and other subjects are generally lower than the Scott County and Kentucky state averages across all grade levels.

The nearby elementary schools, such as Anne Mason, Eastern, and Western, generally outperform Creekside Elementary in academic measures, with higher proficiency rates in mathematics, reading, and other subjects. This suggests that factors beyond just student-teacher ratio and socioeconomic status may be contributing to the academic performance of these schools. Creekside Elementary's high percentage of low-income students and declining statewide ranking indicate that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and comprehensive improvement strategies to address the root causes of its underperformance and better support the academic and social-emotional needs of its diverse student population.

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.
