North Washington Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past 3 years, dropping from 320 out of 684 Kentucky elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 451 out of 685 in 2023-2024. The school's performance on state assessments is mixed, with proficiency rates below the county and state averages in mathematics, science, writing, social studies, and editing/mechanics, but on par with or above the averages in reading. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $13,227 and low student-teacher ratio of 16.2, its academic performance is not consistently strong across all subject areas.
Additionally, a significant portion (59.52%) of North Washington Elementary School's student population is eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic need among the students. This socioeconomic factor may be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges and may require targeted interventions and support to address the needs of this student population.
