Elementary Schools in Mayfield Independent

Mayfield Independent school district in Kentucky has only one elementary school, Mayfield Elementary School, which serves grades PK-4 and has 874 students. While Mayfield Elementary's performance is mixed compared to state averages, with strengths in 4th grade reading and science but lagging in 3rd and 4th grade math, the school stands out for its high spending per student and relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.2.

Mayfield Elementary's 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking of 252 out of 685 Kentucky elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year indicate the school is performing at an average level statewide. The school's proficiency rates exceed the state average in 4th grade reading (55% vs 50%) and 4th grade science (51% vs 34%), but fall slightly below the state average in 3rd and 4th grade math. This suggests the school may need to focus on improving its math instruction and curriculum.

With a high free/reduced lunch rate of 73.57%, Mayfield Independent serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population. However, the district is allocating additional resources to support the school, as evidenced by Mayfield Elementary's per-student spending of $12,124, which is above the state average. This, combined with the school's low student-teacher ratio, could be strengths that help the school better serve its high-needs student population.
