Indian Hills Elementary School

Summary:

Indian Hills Elementary School is a public elementary school in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, serving 582 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Christian County School District. This school has shown consistent improvement in its academic performance, moving from the bottom 10% of Kentucky elementary schools in 2014-2015 to the top 40% in 2023-2024.

Indian Hills Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in mathematics and reading, where it outperforms the nearby Crofton Elementary and Pembroke Elementary schools. The school also serves a diverse student population, with significant percentages of African American (35%), Hispanic (12%), and multi-racial (7%) students, and it ranks in the top 25% of Kentucky elementary schools for these subgroups. This success is notable given that 71.31% of Indian Hills Elementary students are economically disadvantaged, a factor often associated with lower academic achievement.

The higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio at Indian Hills Elementary School compared to nearby schools may contribute to its academic success. While other schools in the Christian County School District, such as Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary and Freedom Elementary, struggle academically, Indian Hills Elementary's consistent improvement and effective support for diverse student populations provide valuable insights for other schools in the district and beyond.

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.
