Summary:
The Fulton County area of Kentucky has only one elementary school, Fulton County Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 331 students. This school is ranked 546 out of 685 Kentucky elementary schools and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating it is significantly underperforming compared to other schools in the state.
Fulton County Elementary's academic performance on state assessments is consistently below the state averages across subjects like mathematics, reading, writing, social studies, and editing/mechanics. For example, in 2023-2024, only 24% of 4th graders and 27% of 5th graders were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to state averages of 43% and 41%, respectively. The school also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 74.92%, suggesting it serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $12,736 and low student-teacher ratio of 11.6, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the students of Fulton County Elementary. Targeted interventions and support may be necessary to help the school address the educational challenges it is facing and better serve the needs of the Fulton County community.
