Arnett Elementary School

Summary:

Arnett Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Erlanger, Kentucky, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 270 students. The school is part of the Erlanger-Elsmere Independent School District, which is ranked 145 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Arnett Elementary School consistently performs below the Erlanger-Elsmere Independent School District and the state of Kentucky in academic assessments. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in KSA/Mathematics ranged from 9% to 31% at Arnett, compared to 20% to 26% for the district and 41% to 43% for the state. Similarly, in KSA/Reading, Arnett's proficiency rates ranged from 22% to 38%, while the district and state had higher rates of 26% to 50%. The school's student group performance, as measured by SchoolDigger rankings, is also concerning, with the school ranking in the bottom 25% of Kentucky elementary schools for female, male, white, special education, low socioeconomic status, and disabled student groups.

Despite relatively high per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio, Arnett Elementary has not been able to translate these resources into improved student outcomes. The nearby Lindeman Elementary and Miles Elementary schools in the Erlanger-Elsmere district generally perform better than Arnett on academic assessments, while schools in higher-performing districts, such as Beechwood Elementary and R.C. Hinsdale Elementary, have significantly higher proficiency rates in mathematics and reading. Arnett Elementary's performance has also declined over the years, from a high of 157 out of 698 Kentucky elementary schools in 2014-2015 to a low of 663 out of 687 in 2022-2023.

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.
