Evarts Elementary School

Summary:

Evarts Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Evarts, Kentucky, with 340 students enrolled. The school is part of the Harlan County School District, which is ranked 25 out of 159 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Evarts Elementary has shown mixed performance on state assessments, with some grade levels and subjects outperforming the district and state averages, while others lag behind. For example, in 2023-2024, Evarts 4th graders had 59% proficiency in Math, compared to 44% for Harlan County and 43% for the state. However, Evarts 8th graders had only 26% proficiency in Math, compared to 47% for the county and 37% for the state. The school stands out for its ability to effectively serve certain student subgroups, such as male students and students with disabilities, often ranking in the top 10% of Kentucky schools for those groups. Conversely, Evarts struggles with proficiency rates for female students and white students, ranking in the bottom half of the state.

Evarts Elementary has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 86-89% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. The school also spends more per student ($12,770-$12,883) compared to the state average, likely due to the high needs of its student population. When compared to other elementary schools in the Harlan County district, Evarts generally performs at a similar level, with no school standing out as significantly outperforming the others. However, the nearby Green Hills Elementary and Cawood Elementary schools have shown stronger performance in certain grade levels and subjects, suggesting that there may be opportunities for Evarts to learn from their practices.

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.
