Summary:
The city of Allen, Kentucky has only one public elementary school, Allen Elementary School, which serves students from prekindergarten through 6th grade. The school is part of the Floyd County school district and is currently ranked 446 out of 685 elementary schools in the state, with a 2 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Allen Elementary School faces significant academic challenges, particularly in mathematics proficiency, where student performance is consistently below the state and county averages across all grade levels. The school's reading proficiency rates are mixed, with some grades performing above the state and county averages, while others fall behind. Additionally, the school's science, writing, social studies, and editing/mechanics proficiency rates are generally below the state and county averages. With nearly 80% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Allen Elementary serves a high-poverty population, which likely contributes to the school's academic struggles.
The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, dropping from 280 out of 684 Kentucky elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 446 out of 685 in 2023-2024. This downward trend in the school's performance relative to its peers suggests the need for a comprehensive review of the school's practices and the implementation of effective strategies to improve student outcomes and support the unique needs of the student population.
