The school's performance is particularly low in mathematics, with 0% of 11th-grade students proficient or better, compared to 30% statewide and 19% in the district. Bluegrass Learning Academy also has a low four-year graduation rate of 52.6%, significantly lower than the 93.3% rate at Christian County High School and the 90.6% rate at Hopkinsville High School.

The high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds at Bluegrass Learning Academy, with 85.25% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a significant factor contributing to the school's academic challenges. The school's performance is particularly low for subgroups such as African American students and low-income students, ranking in the bottom quarter of Kentucky high schools for these groups. Addressing the needs of the school's high-poverty student population, potentially through additional resources and support services, could be a crucial step in improving the school's overall performance.

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.
