Eastern Elementary School

Summary:

Eastern Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Glasgow, Kentucky, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 349. The school is part of the Barren County School District, which is ranked 67 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Eastern Elementary School has shown mixed academic performance compared to the state and district averages. While the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics and Reading were generally higher than the Barren County and Kentucky averages, particularly in 4th and 6th grades, its performance in other subjects, such as Science, Writing, and Social Studies, has been more inconsistent. The school's overall ranking among Kentucky elementary schools has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 197 out of 698 schools in 2014-2015 to 417 out of 684 schools in 2021-2022. The school has performed well for students with special needs and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, but has shown varying performance across different student subgroups.

Compared to nearby schools, Temple Hill Elementary and Hiseville Elementary have generally outperformed Eastern Elementary School in academic proficiency, while Park City Elementary has consistently underperformed. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Eastern Elementary School, ranging from 57.87% to 69.97%, suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income population, which may contribute to the school's academic challenges. However, the school has performed relatively well for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, indicating that the school may be effectively supporting these students.

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.
