Augusta Independent School

Summary:

Augusta Independent School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in Augusta, Kentucky, with an enrollment of 317 students and a student-teacher ratio of 13.4. While the school maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 89.5%, it generally underperforms the state average on standardized tests across various subjects and grade levels.

One key differentiator is the school's test scores, with only 19% of 10th graders proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 36%. Similarly, the school's reading proficiency rates are lower than the state in most grades. Additionally, Augusta Independent has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 56.21% to 63.75% over the past three school years, suggesting a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students compared to the state. However, the school spends more per student than the state average, with $14,473 and $17,185 spent per student in the 2018-2019 and 2017-2018 school years, respectively.

When compared to the nearest comparable school, Robertson County School, located about 17 miles away, the data suggests that while both schools have a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, Robertson County School's test scores are generally higher, particularly in reading proficiency. This comparison highlights the unique challenges faced by Augusta Independent and the potential areas for improvement, such as increasing proficiency in mathematics and reading across all grade levels.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
