Fulton County Elementary

Summary:

Fulton County Elementary is a public elementary school located in Hickman, Kentucky, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 331 students. The school is part of the Fulton County School District, which is ranked 134 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fulton County Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools, with a ranking between 531 and 627 out of 684-705 schools over the past several years. The school's performance on state assessments (KSA) is significantly below the state average across multiple subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates ranging from 24% to 50% compared to state averages of 41% to 50%. The school's high percentage of students from low-income families, ranging from 64.47% to 74.92% over the past three years, may contribute to these challenges.

However, the school's performance for African American students was relatively stronger, ranking 43 out of 184 Kentucky elementary schools in 2017-2018. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio has remained relatively stable, ranging from 11.1 to 11.9 students per teacher over the past three school years. The significant decrease in per-student spending, from $20,134 in 2017-2018 to $12,736 in 2018-2019, raises concerns about the school's ability to provide adequate resources and support for student learning.

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.
