Frayser Elementary

Summary:

Frayser Elementary is a public elementary school in Louisville, Kentucky, serving 318 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.

Frayser Elementary has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Kentucky over the past decade, with its statewide ranking ranging from 621 to 695 out of around 700 schools. The school has received a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the majority of the years analyzed, indicating very poor performance. Academically, Frayser Elementary's proficiency rates in mathematics and reading are significantly below the district and state averages, with only 10% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in math, compared to 31% in the district and 43% statewide. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as female students, male students, and students with disabilities, who rank in the bottom 10% of Kentucky elementary schools in various subject areas.

Interestingly, several of the schools in close proximity to Frayser Elementary, such as Mill Creek Elementary, Hazelwood Elementary, and Dr. William H. Perry Elementary School, also rank among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Kentucky. Despite the relatively high per-student spending at Frayser Elementary, the school's academic performance remains significantly below district and state averages, raising questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources to support student learning.

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.
