Park City Elementary School

Summary:

Park City Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 382 students in grades PK-6 in Park City, Kentucky, which is part of the Barren County School District. Unfortunately, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools over the past decade, with a 1-star or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state.

The key challenges facing Park City Elementary School include significantly lower academic performance than the Barren County and Kentucky state averages across subjects like mathematics, reading, and science. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, with rankings for female, male, Hispanic, white, special education, low socioeconomic status, and homeless students all in the bottom half or quarter of Kentucky elementary schools. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 68% to 70%, which is much higher than the state average.

When comparing Park City Elementary School to other nearby schools in the Barren County and surrounding districts, it is clear that the school is underperforming academically. For example, Eastern Elementary, Red Cross Elementary, Hiseville Elementary, and North Jackson Elementary all have significantly higher proficiency rates and rankings compared to Park City Elementary School.

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.
