Engelhard Elementary has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Kentucky over the past decade, with a statewide ranking between 526 and 688 out of around 700 schools. The school has received a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the years, with a brief 1-star rating in 2014-2015. Engelhard Elementary consistently performs significantly below the state and district averages in all tested subjects, including reading, math, science, social studies, and writing. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 9% of 4th-grade students and 8% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in reading, compared to the state averages of 50% and 46%, respectively. In math, the proficiency rates for Engelhard Elementary were even lower, with only 20% of 3rd-graders, 7% of 4th-graders, and 23% of 5th-graders achieving proficiency, compared to the state averages of 43%, 42%, and 38%, respectively.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Lincoln Elementary Performing Arts, Breckinridge-Franklin Elementary, and Bloom Elementary, perform significantly better than Engelhard Elementary on academic measures, despite serving similar student populations. This suggests that the low performance of Engelhard Elementary is not solely due to the demographics of the student population, but rather a reflection of the school's ability to effectively educate its students. Additionally, Engelhard Elementary has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing schools in Kentucky for the past decade, with no significant improvement in its academic performance or overall ranking, indicating a persistent and systemic issue within the school that has not been adequately addressed.

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.
