Duff-Allen Central Elementary

Summary:

Duff-Allen Central Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Eastern, Kentucky, with an enrollment of 450 students. The school faces significant challenges, as it consistently ranks in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools and struggles with student academic performance, particularly in mathematics.

Duff-Allen Central Elementary's proficiency rates on state assessments (KSA) are generally below the Floyd County and Kentucky averages across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 27% of 3rd graders were proficient in reading, compared to 37% in Floyd County and 47% statewide. The school's performance in mathematics is especially low, with proficiency rates ranging from 15-39% across grades, compared to 23-43% for Floyd County and 36-43% for Kentucky. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 82.44% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023.

While Duff-Allen Central Elementary's performance lags behind both the state and its local district peers, such as Betsy Layne Elementary and South Floyd Elementary, it does outperform some schools in neighboring districts, like Beaver Creek Elementary in Knott County. However, May Valley Elementary, also in the Floyd County district, stands out as a high-performing school, ranking in the top 30% of Kentucky elementary schools and significantly outperforming Duff-Allen Central Elementary and the district average.

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.
