The school is part of the Bullitt County School District, which is ranked 112 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Roby Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools, with a ranking between 340 and 598 out of 517-700 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on the Kentucky State Assessments (KSA) is generally below the Bullitt County and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with the largest gaps in Mathematics (8-14 percentage points lower) and Science (7-12 percentage points lower). Additionally, Roby Elementary has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 64.57% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year.

Within the Bullitt County district, Roby Elementary's academic performance is generally lower than that of other nearby elementary schools, such as Overdale Elementary, Cedar Grove Elementary, and Pleasant Grove Elementary. These higher-performing schools within the same district have similar student demographics and funding levels, suggesting that Roby Elementary may have room for improvement in its instructional practices and resource allocation. The high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds at Roby Elementary is likely a significant factor contributing to the school's academic challenges, but nearby schools with similar demographics also struggle academically, indicating that factors beyond just socioeconomic status may be at play.

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.
