Camp Taylor Elementary

Summary:

Camp Taylor Elementary is a public elementary school in Louisville, Kentucky, serving around 450 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Jefferson County school district, which is ranked 141 out of 159 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Camp Taylor Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 594 out of 685 schools.

The school's academic performance is a significant concern, as it consistently underperforms compared to the Jefferson County and Kentucky state averages across various subject areas and grade levels. Additionally, the school struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, with rankings for female, male, African American, Hispanic, white, English Language Learner, and low socioeconomic status students all in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 71.33% to 78.24% over the past few years, indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, nearby schools such as Bloom Elementary, Hawthorne Elementary, and Audubon Traditional Elementary generally outperform Camp Taylor Elementary across academic measures, despite being part of the same Jefferson County school district. This suggests that factors beyond just district-level policies and resources may be contributing to the differences in student outcomes. The high spending per student and low student-teacher ratio at Camp Taylor Elementary, coupled with the poor academic performance, also raise questions about the school's resource allocation and instructional 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.

Open Quote Avoid this school if at all possible. My son went from being an honor roll student at a different school, to now barely making passing grades.
The staff is rude and unhelpful. There is no interaction between the school and the parents. If you call and ask for any information they either don't know or tell you it will be sent home in a flyer at some point.
My son started this school and was so far advanced in his reading that when they were seperated into groups for reading time he had to be by himself. That seems like a punishment for being exceptional. It does not make a child want to learn, and now he is barely at grade level expectations when just last year they were talking about skipping him a grade?
Bottom line is they don't care, the school is dirty and there is no heat in many of the classrooms. Avoid this place at all costs. Close Quote

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.
