Summary:
The city of Mc Daniels, Kentucky has only one public elementary school, Ben Johnson Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 229 students. The school is part of the Breckinridge County School District, which is ranked 93 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Ben Johnson Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by the Kentucky State Assessments (KSA), is generally below the Breckinridge County and Kentucky state averages across various subjects and grade levels. In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates range from 18% to 56% compared to the county's 28% to 53% and the state's 34% to 47%. The school's performance has been declining over the past few years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 483 out of 684 Kentucky elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 387 out of 685 in 2023-2024. Additionally, 42.36% of the school's students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, indicating a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $15,831 for the 2018-2019 school year and a student-teacher ratio of 15.2 for the 2022-2023 school year, which are both better than national averages, the data suggests that these resources are not being effectively utilized to improve student outcomes. Further investigation into the school's instructional practices, curriculum, and support systems may be necessary to identify areas for improvement and develop strategies to address the school's performance issues.
