Second Street School

Summary:

Second Street School is an elementary school located in Frankfort, Kentucky, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 571 students. The school is part of the Frankfort Independent School District, which is ranked 98 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Second Street School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools, with performance on state assessments (KSA) generally below the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels. The school's proficiency rates in mathematics, for example, ranged from 28% to 47% in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 37% to 43%. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as African American students, students with disabilities, and economically disadvantaged students, who rank in the bottom quarter or third of their respective peer groups. This highlights the need for the school to address the unique needs and challenges faced by these student populations.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Heritage Elementary, Hearn Elementary, and Bridgeport Elementary, generally outperform Second Street School on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates in core subjects and better overall rankings. These nearby schools also have lower percentages of students from low-income backgrounds, which may contribute to their stronger academic performance. Despite these comparisons, Second Street School's performance has been consistently low, with the school's ranking and star rating remaining in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools for the past decade, suggesting the need for more targeted interventions and support.

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.
