Coral Ridge Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools, with a statewide ranking ranging from 469 out of 517 schools in 2020-2021 to 584 out of 685 schools in the current 2023-2024 school year. The school has maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, with a brief period of a 2-star rating in 2015-2016 and 2016-2017. Academically, Coral Ridge Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Jefferson County and Kentucky state averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly for African American, Hispanic, and Special Education students.

When comparing Coral Ridge Elementary to other nearby schools in the Jefferson County district, it becomes clear that the school is among the lowest-performing in the area. For example, Laukhuf Elementary, located just 4 miles away, consistently outperforms Coral Ridge Elementary in academic measures, while Fairdale Elementary, only 1.44 miles away, also demonstrates stronger academic performance. Despite the school's academic challenges, Coral Ridge Elementary appears to receive a relatively high level of per-student funding, suggesting that the issue may not be solely a lack of resources, but rather the effective allocation and utilization of those resources to support student learning and 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.
