Southgate Public School generally performs above the state average on Kentucky state assessments (KSA) in mathematics, reading, writing, social studies, and editing/mechanics. For example, in 8th grade reading, 59% of Southgate students scored proficient or better, compared to the state average of 41%. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students (87.44%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite this, Southgate Public School spends significantly more per student ($25,517) than the state average, which may contribute to its relatively strong academic performance.
Southgate Public School's performance on state assessments has been relatively consistent over the past three school years, with the school maintaining a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. While the school is performing well in many areas, there are still some subjects and grade levels where the school's performance lags behind the state average, such as 4th grade mathematics and 8th grade editing/mechanics. Identifying and addressing these areas of weakness could help the school continue to improve and provide the best possible education for its students.
