Sixth District Elementary School

Summary:

Sixth District Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Covington, Kentucky, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 446 students. The school is part of the Covington Independent School District, which is ranked 131 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sixth District Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools, with proficiency rates in mathematics and reading ranging from 19% to 44%, significantly below the state averages of 43% to 50%. Compared to nearby schools in the Covington Independent district, such as Latonia Elementary and Glenn O Swing Elementary, Sixth District Elementary School generally performs worse, with lower proficiency rates across subject areas. However, the school's performance for certain student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, is relatively stronger compared to the state and district averages for those subgroups.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $15,912, compared to the state average of $11,700, its academic performance remains low, indicating that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes. The school's fluctuating student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.8 to 15.9 students per teacher, suggests that the allocation and utilization of resources, such as staffing, may need to be examined more closely to ensure they are being used effectively to support student learning. The potential for Sixth District Elementary School to collaborate with nearby higher-performing schools presents an opportunity for the school to identify and implement effective instructional practices and strategies to drive student success.

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.
