Summary:
The city of Girdler, Kentucky has only one public elementary school, Girdler Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 294 students. The school is part of the Knox County school district, which is ranked 57 out of 159 districts in the state.
Girdler Elementary School has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools over the past three years, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in various subjects, such as 3rd grade mathematics, are generally lower than the Knox County and Kentucky state averages. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 86.39%, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges for its student population.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. Girdler Elementary School's performance is generally lower than the Knox County district and the state of Kentucky as a whole, particularly in mathematics. This suggests that the school may be facing unique challenges that are not being addressed effectively, and further investigation into potential interventions may be necessary to help the school improve and better serve its students.
