Cedar Grove Elementary

Summary:

Cedar Grove Elementary is a public elementary school located in Shepherdsville, Kentucky, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 406. The school is part of the Bullitt County School District, which is ranked 112 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cedar Grove Elementary has shown a mixed academic performance, with some strengths in certain grade levels and subject areas, but also areas for improvement, particularly in supporting the needs of specific student subgroups. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics and Reading for grades 3-5 were generally higher than the Bullitt County and state averages, but there were some exceptions, such as 5th grade Reading where the school's proficiency rate was lower than the district and state. Cedar Grove's performance is generally on par with or slightly better than the other Bullitt County elementary schools in the area, but the nearby Pleasant Grove Elementary consistently outperforms Cedar Grove and the other schools in the district.

One notable area of concern for Cedar Grove Elementary is the performance of special education and disabled students, who ranked 249 out of 279 Kentucky elementary schools, with a 1-star rating. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 45.24% to 46.8% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average and suggests that the school serves a population with a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. Addressing the needs of these student subgroups could be a key focus area for the school to improve its overall performance and ranking.

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.
