Lansdowne Elementary School

Summary:

Lansdowne Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lexington, Kentucky, serving 558 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Fayette County School District, which is ranked 77 out of 159 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio compared to nearby high-performing schools like Cassidy Elementary and Clays Mill Elementary, Lansdowne Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools over the past several years, with a 1 or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in reading and math are significantly lower than the Fayette County and state averages, and its performance has remained stagnant or declined in recent years.

Lansdowne's struggles are particularly evident in the academic achievement of certain student subgroups, such as male students, Hispanic students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, who consistently rank in the bottom quarter or half of Kentucky elementary schools in their respective categories. These disparities suggest that the school may need to implement more targeted interventions and support systems to address the unique needs of these underperforming subgroups and drive overall academic improvement.

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.
