Caneyville Elementary School

Summary:

Caneyville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Caneyville, Kentucky, with 390 students. The school is part of the Grayson County School District, which is ranked 38 out of 159 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Caneyville Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated significantly over the past 10 years, from a high of 187 in 2016-2017 to a low of 433 in 2015-2016, indicating inconsistent academic performance.

While Caneyville Elementary has higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio than nearby schools like Clarkson Elementary and Oran P. Lawler Elementary, its academic performance is generally below the Grayson County and state averages across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 50% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in Math and Reading, compared to 56% and 47% respectively at the county level. The school's performance is particularly low in 5th grade Math (25% proficient) and Writing (24% proficient), lagging the county by over 15 percentage points.

Additionally, Caneyville Elementary has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 67.23% to 71.28% over the past 3 years, significantly higher than nearby schools. This suggests the school serves a more economically disadvantaged population, and the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strengthen instructional quality to address the unique needs of its student body and improve overall academic achievement.

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.
