Summary:
The city of Grethel, Kentucky has just one public school serving grades PK-8, John M. Stumbo Elementary School. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.7, its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally below the county and state averages. The school is ranked 410 out of 685 Kentucky elementary schools and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
John M. Stumbo Elementary School serves a student population with significant economic challenges, with 90% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the school's below-average academic performance, it has higher per-student spending compared to the state average. This raises questions about how the school's resources are being allocated and whether they are being used effectively to support student learning.
The school's performance has fluctuated over the past few years, with some grade levels showing improvement while others have declined. This suggests that there may be opportunities for the school to identify and implement strategies to improve student outcomes across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in mathematics where the school's proficiency rates are significantly lower than the county and state levels. The school's performance is an area of concern for the Floyd County district, and further investigation may be needed to understand the underlying factors and develop effective interventions.
