Summary:
The Russellville Independent school district in Kentucky consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. Overall, the schools in this district are performing significantly below the state averages on key metrics like test scores and graduation rates, indicating systemic challenges that need to be addressed.
While Russellville High School appears to be the strongest performer in the district with a 95.9% four-year graduation rate, it is still ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky high schools. The elementary and middle schools are also ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types statewide. Proficiency rates on state assessments and the ACT are significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.
One notable factor is the extremely high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 68.66% at the high school to 80.25% at the elementary school. This indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which likely contributes to the low academic performance. The district spends around $16,000 per student, which is higher than the state average, but the student-teacher ratios are relatively low, suggesting the district may have an advantage in providing more individualized attention to students.
