Best Public Schools in Stoney Fork, KY

Summary:

The city of Stoney Fork, Kentucky has only one school serving students in grades PK-8 - the Right Fork School Center. This small elementary school is part of the Bell County school district, which is ranked 39 out of 159 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the Right Fork School Center has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.8 and high per-student spending of $25,625, the school's academic performance has consistently lagged behind state and county averages on standardized tests. In 3rd grade math and reading, proficiency rates were around 29%, compared to 40-47% for the county and state. However, 8th-grade students performed better in writing and reading, with proficiency rates exceeding the state average.

The school faces significant challenges, with 84% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Despite the additional resources, the Right Fork School Center has struggled to improve student outcomes, ranking between 389-440 out of around 700 elementary schools in Kentucky over the past few years. While the small class sizes and high spending may be positive factors, the data suggests the school has work to do in order to better support its students and close the achievement gap.
