Deep Springs Elementary School

Summary:

Deep Springs Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lexington, Kentucky, serving 520 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Fayette County School District. Despite having a relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, the school has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages in core academic areas like Mathematics and Reading.

Deep Springs Elementary School's academic performance has been stagnant, with rankings in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools over the past decade. While the school performs well for its African American student population, it struggles with its Hispanic and White students, as well as its high percentage of English Language Learners and students from low-income backgrounds. Nearby schools like George Washington Carver STEM Academy, Madeline M Breckinridge Elementary School, and Ashland Elementary School tend to have higher academic proficiency rates and better overall rankings compared to Deep Springs Elementary.

While the school's high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio suggest that resources may not be the primary driver of its underperformance, identifying and addressing the root causes of the school's challenges, as well as leveraging the strengths of its African American student population and collaborating with nearby high-performing schools, could be key strategies for driving improvement at Deep Springs Elementary School.

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.
