Greenwood Elementary

Summary:

Greenwood Elementary is a public elementary school in Louisville, Kentucky, serving 457 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. 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.

Greenwood Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Kentucky elementary schools, with a ranking between 598 and 679 out of 684-700 schools over the past several years. The school's performance on the Kentucky State Assessments (KSA) is significantly below the Jefferson County and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in subjects like Writing and Editing and Mechanics. This underperformance is consistent across all student subgroups, including female, male, African American, white, special education, and low socioeconomic status students.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and student-teacher ratio, the academic outcomes at Greenwood Elementary remain significantly below the district and state averages. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at the school, ranging from 70.51% to 80.14%, suggests that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may contribute to the academic struggles observed. Addressing these complex challenges will likely require a comprehensive and targeted approach to support the students and teachers at Greenwood Elementary.

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.
