Munfordville Elementary School

Summary:

Munfordville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Munfordville, Kentucky, with 492 students enrolled. The school is part of the Hart County School District, which is ranked 116 out of 159 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Munfordville Elementary School generally performs better than the Hart County district and the state of Kentucky on standardized tests, especially in reading, with 6th grade reading proficiency at 55% compared to 41% for the district and 49% for the state. However, the school struggles in mathematics, with proficiency rates below the district and state averages across most grade levels. Munfordville Elementary School performs relatively well for female students, ranking in the top 40% of Kentucky elementary schools, but struggles more with special education and low-income students, ranking in the bottom 40%.

Compared to nearby schools, Munfordville Elementary School generally outperforms other elementary schools in the Hart County district, but struggles when compared to elementary schools in the neighboring Barren County and Hardin County districts. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined from 218 out of 517 Kentucky elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 427 out of 685 in 2023-2024, particularly in mathematics proficiency. The high and increasing free and reduced lunch rates at Munfordville Elementary School, reaching over 64% in 2022-2023, suggest that the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may contribute to its academic challenges.

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.
