William Cofield High School

Summary:

William Cofield High School is a public virtual high school in Frankfort, Kentucky, serving grades 6-12 with a student population of 58. The school has a predominantly White student body, with 70.69% of students identifying as White in the current school year.

Despite its small size, William Cofield High School faces several challenges. The school ranks 158 out of 276 Kentucky high schools, placing it in the bottom half of the state's high schools with a 2 out of 5 stars rating from SchoolDigger. Its performance on ACT assessments for 11th-grade students is significantly lower than the Franklin County and state averages, with only 46% of students proficient or better in ACT English, compared to 55% in the county and 47% statewide. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 58.62%, which is much higher than nearby Western Hills High School (44.68%) and Franklin County High School (48.44%).

While William Cofield High School faces these challenges, it is located in close proximity to higher-performing schools, such as Woodford County High School and Franklin County High School, which outperform it in all ACT and Kentucky State Assessment (KSA) subject areas. This suggests that students at William Cofield High School may have access to educational resources and opportunities available at these neighboring schools, which could potentially benefit their academic achievement. However, as a public virtual high school, William Cofield High School may also face unique challenges in delivering effective instruction and fostering a supportive learning environment for its students, which may contribute to its low performance on academic assessments.

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.
