Taylor County Elementary School

Summary:

Taylor County Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in Campbellsville, Kentucky, with 567 students. The school is part of the Taylor County School District, which is ranked 102 out of 159 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Taylor County Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on the Kentucky Summative Assessment (KSA) in core subjects like Mathematics, Reading, and Science. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were lower than the state average in Mathematics (3rd grade: 43% vs. 43%, 4th grade: 38% vs. 43%, 5th grade: 33% vs. 41%), Reading (3rd grade: 45% vs. 47%, 4th grade: 48% vs. 50%, 5th grade: 40% vs. 46%), and Science (4th grade: 34% vs. 34%). The school's performance on the KSA also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school struggling with White students and Low Socioeconomic Status students. Over the past decade, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined, from a high of 189 out of 691 Kentucky elementary schools in 2017-2018 to a low of 428 out of 685 in the current 2023-2024 school year.

When compared to nearby schools, Taylor County Elementary School appears to be underperforming.

Similarly, Calvary Elementary School, which is 11.89 miles away, has significantly higher proficiency rates across multiple grade levels and subject areas. Taylor County Elementary School also has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with over 58% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which likely contributes to the school's academic challenges.

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.
