William G. Conkwright Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools, with a ranking of 599 out of 685 schools in the 2023-2024 school year and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in KSA/Mathematics and KSA/Reading, is significantly below the state and county averages across all grade levels and years. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as male students, white students, and students with disabilities, is particularly concerning, with many of these groups ranking in the bottom 25% of Kentucky elementary schools.

The nearby schools, Strode Station Elementary School, Shearer Elementary School, and Willis H. Justice Elementary School, all within the same Clark County School District, also perform below the state and county averages in academic measures, suggesting a broader challenge within the district. However, some nearby schools, such as Garrett Morgan Elementary and Athens-Chilesburg Elementary in the Fayette County School District, demonstrate significantly higher academic performance, indicating that high-performing schools are possible within the region.

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.
