Corbin School of Innovation

Summary:

Corbin School of Innovation is an alternative public virtual school serving grades K-12 in the Corbin Independent School District in Corbin, Kentucky. The school has 218 students and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, but faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools.

Corbin School of Innovation has a very high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 64.22% to 70.25% over the past 3 school years, which is much higher than the district and state averages. However, the school consistently underperforms the Corbin Independent district and the state of Kentucky on standardized test scores across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 6% of 11th graders were proficient or better in ACT Math, compared to 39% for the district and 30% for the state. Additionally, Corbin School of Innovation has had very high student-teacher ratios, ranging from 27.9 to 63.2 over the past 3 school years, much higher than the nearby Corbin Educational Center (5.1) and the state average.

The low test scores and high student-teacher ratios at Corbin School of Innovation suggest that the virtual school model may be presenting challenges for this high-need student population. The school may need to re-evaluate its instructional approaches and support systems to better serve its students. Additionally, the high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients indicates a need for targeted academic and social-emotional interventions to support these students. With the right targeted interventions and support, Corbin School of Innovation can work to improve student outcomes and better serve its community.

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.
