Freedom Elementary School

Summary:

Freedom Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 547 students. The school is part of the Christian County School District, which is ranked 110 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Freedom Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Kentucky elementary schools over the past several years, with a statewide ranking between 643-682 out of 687-700 schools. The school has received a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years, indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in the state. Freedom Elementary School significantly underperforms the Christian County and Kentucky state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, including mathematics, reading, science, social studies, and writing. The school also struggles to serve its diverse student population effectively, with rankings for subgroups such as female students, male students, African American students, white students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students all in the bottom 10-20% of Kentucky elementary schools.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Christian County district, such as South Christian Elementary, Pembroke Elementary, Crofton Elementary, Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary, Millbrooke Elementary, and Sinking Fork Elementary, all significantly outperform Freedom Elementary School on academic measures. This suggests that the challenges faced by Freedom Elementary may be unique and require targeted interventions to address the root causes of its underperformance.

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.
