Olive Hill Elementary School

Summary:

Olive Hill Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 381 students in grades PK-5 in Olive Hill, Kentucky, which is part of the Carter County School District. The school has consistently ranked in the middle-to-upper range of Kentucky elementary schools, typically between 200-400 out of 700+, and its performance on state assessments is generally on par with or slightly below the county and state averages.

One notable strength of Olive Hill Elementary is its performance in 5th grade writing and social studies, where it outperforms the Carter County and Kentucky averages. However, the school has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 65-69% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Interestingly, the school's performance for female students and special education students is generally stronger than for male students and the overall student population, suggesting a need to focus on addressing the needs of male and economically disadvantaged students.

Olive Hill Elementary spends between $12,471 and $13,032 per student, which is higher than the state average, and maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.6-14.0, lower than nearby schools like Clearfield Elementary and Rodburn Elementary. This resource allocation may be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance, though further analysis would be needed to establish a direct correlation.

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.
