Gutermuth Elementary

Summary:

Gutermuth Elementary is a public elementary school in Louisville, Kentucky, serving 373 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.

Gutermuth Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Kentucky elementary schools over the past decade, with a ranking between 607-701 out of around 700 schools. The school has received a 0 or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the majority of the years, indicating poor overall performance. Academically, Gutermuth Elementary performs significantly below the state and district averages in all tested subjects, with proficiency rates ranging from 17% to 34% in Mathematics and 27% to 36% in Reading, compared to state averages of 41-43% and 46-50%, respectively. The school also struggles to effectively serve its diverse student population, with rankings for various subgroups consistently in the bottom 10-30% of Kentucky elementary schools.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Jefferson County district, such as Schaffner Traditional Elementary, Trunnell Elementary, and Kerrick Elementary, also perform poorly, with most ranking in the bottom 30-40% of Kentucky elementary schools. However, Schaffner Traditional Elementary, a public magnet school, outperforms Gutermuth Elementary and the other nearby schools in most academic areas, suggesting that a more focused educational approach can lead to better outcomes. The high percentage of students from low-income families at Gutermuth Elementary, as evidenced by the free and reduced lunch rates, may also be a significant contributor to the school's poor academic performance, indicating the need for a targeted approach to address the unique challenges faced by students from disadvantaged backgrounds.

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.
