Carlisle County Elementary School

Summary:

Carlisle County Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Bardwell, Kentucky, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 409 students. The school is part of the Carlisle County School District, which is ranked 55 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Carlisle County Elementary School has seen fluctuating performance in its statewide ranking, ranging from 198 out of 684 Kentucky elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 422 out of 685 in 2023-2024. Compared to nearby schools like Heath Elementary and Mayfield Elementary, Carlisle County Elementary generally performs below average in both mathematics and reading proficiency, particularly in mathematics where proficiency rates range from 26% to 56% across grades 3-5, compared to the state average of 41% to 43%. The school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 65.53% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may be contributing to these academic challenges.

However, the school's relatively strong performance for special education students suggests it may have effective strategies or resources in place to support this student population. Additionally, the school's higher per-student spending of $16,812 in 2018-2019, compared to nearby schools, indicates the district is allocating additional resources to the school, though these resources do not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes. Identifying and addressing the root causes of the school's academic struggles, particularly in mathematics, while building upon its potential strengths, could be crucial for improving the educational outcomes of its 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.
