Field Elementary

Summary:

Field Elementary is a public elementary school in Louisville, Kentucky, serving 387 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.

Field Elementary has consistently performed well academically, ranking in the top half of Kentucky elementary schools and receiving a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's students outperform the Jefferson County and Kentucky state averages in various subject areas, including mathematics, reading, science, and editing/mechanics. However, there are disparities in the performance of different student subgroups, with the school's African American and low socioeconomic status students performing less well than their white peers. The school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio suggest it is well-resourced, but the efficient use of these resources to support all students remains a concern.

When compared to nearby schools, Dunn Elementary and Bloom Elementary perform similarly to or better than Field Elementary in many academic areas, providing potential alternatives for families in the area. In contrast, Lincoln Elementary Performing Arts and Goldsmith Elementary, both magnet schools, have significantly lower academic performance despite serving a similar student population. The schools with the highest percentages of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, such as Breckinridge-Franklin Elementary and The Brook-Dupont, tend to have lower academic performance, highlighting the challenges faced by schools serving economically disadvantaged communities.

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.
