Cartmell Elementary

Summary:

Cartmell Elementary is a public elementary school located in Carrollton, Kentucky, serving grades 2-4 with a total enrollment of 410 students. The school is part of the Carroll County School District, which is ranked 155 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cartmell Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 517 and 660 out of around 700 schools. The school has received a 0 or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing significantly below the state average. Cartmell Elementary's proficiency rates in Mathematics and Reading are significantly lower than the state and county averages, and its performance in other subjects, such as Science and Writing, is also well below the state and county levels. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

Despite the relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratio, Cartmell Elementary's academic performance remains poor. This raises questions about the effective use of resources and the need for a more comprehensive approach to school improvement. Interestingly, the nearby Kathryn Winn Primary, which serves grades K-1 and is also part of the Carroll County School District, has a higher percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients but better academic performance than Cartmell Elementary. Additionally, schools in neighboring districts, such as Eastern Elementary School in Henry County and Gallatin County Upper Elementary in Gallatin County, outperform Cartmell Elementary in both academic proficiency and school rankings.

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.
