Summary:
The Ludlow Independent school district in Kentucky has only one elementary school, Mary A. Goetz Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with an enrollment of 464 students. The school faces significant academic performance challenges, with test scores consistently below the district and state averages in core subjects like mathematics and reading.
Despite relatively low student-teacher ratios and high per-student spending, the school has been ranked between 449-483 out of 684-687 Kentucky elementary schools in the past three years and has a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger. Over 65% of students at Mary A. Goetz Elementary qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage that may be impacting student learning and achievement.
While the school's resources and staffing ratios suggest efforts to support its student population, the data indicates that these efforts have not yet translated into stronger academic outcomes. Further investigation into the root causes of the performance issues and targeted interventions could be beneficial in helping Mary A. Goetz Elementary School improve and better serve its students.
