Lone Jack School Center

Summary:

Lone Jack School Center is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Fourmile, Kentucky, with 199 students enrolled. Despite being part of the Bell County School District, which is ranked 39 out of 159 districts in the state, Lone Jack School Center consistently underperforms compared to both the district and state averages across various subject areas and grade levels.

For example, in 2023-2024, only 14% of 4th graders at Lone Jack School Center were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 34% in Bell County and 43% statewide. This pattern of underperformance extends to reading, science, writing, and social studies as well. Additionally, the school struggles to effectively serve certain student subgroups, such as male students, white students, special education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, who all perform poorly compared to their peers across Kentucky.

Despite spending significantly more per student than the state average, Lone Jack School Center has consistently received a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating poor overall performance. Interestingly, nearby schools in the Bell County district, such as Yellow Creek School Center and Right Fork School Center, generally outperform Lone Jack School Center academically, suggesting that factors beyond just student demographics may be contributing to the school's challenges. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach that addresses both instructional practices and the unique needs of Lone Jack's student population.

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.
