Allen Elementary School

Summary:

Allen Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Floyd County School District in Kentucky. The school has 484 students and is located in Allen, KY. Unfortunately, Allen Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages, with proficiency rates in Mathematics ranging from 21% to 33% and Reading proficiency rates ranging from 36% to 58%, well below the state averages.

The school faces significant challenges in serving certain student subgroups, with its rankings for White students and Special Education students in the bottom 25% of Kentucky elementary schools. Additionally, 79.75% of Allen Elementary's students come from low-income families, which is significantly higher than the state average. Despite spending more per student ($13,846 in 2018-2019) than the state average, the school's performance has declined over the years, dropping from 58th out of 694 Kentucky elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 446th out of 685 in 2023-2024.

When compared to other nearby schools in the Floyd County district, such as May Valley Elementary School, Allen Elementary consistently underperforms. However, the school has shown some potential, with 58% proficiency in 7th-grade Reading and 56% proficiency in 5th-grade Writing in 2023-2024, indicating that targeted interventions and support could help improve outcomes for the students at Allen 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.
