Summary:
The Floyd County school district in Kentucky consists of 14 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 4 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals significant variation in academic performance across the district, with some standout schools like May Valley Elementary School and John M. Stumbo Elementary School consistently exceeding county and state averages, while others like Prestonsburg Elementary School lag behind.
The highest-ranked high school in the district is Floyd Central High School, which has a 3-star rating and a strong 92.6% 4-year graduation rate. However, the middle and high schools in the district generally have more room for improvement compared to the top-performing elementary schools. Across the district, there is a potential correlation between higher per-student spending and better academic outcomes, suggesting the importance of adequate funding for schools.
The data also highlights the significant economic challenges facing many students in the district, with high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 59.76% to 90%. This likely contributes to the performance gaps observed and underscores the need for targeted support and resources to address the needs of economically disadvantaged students.
