Hazelwood Elementary

Summary:

Hazelwood Elementary is a public elementary school in Louisville, Kentucky, serving 511 students in grades PK-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.

Hazelwood Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 553 and 662 over the past 10 years. The school has received a 0 or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger during this time period, indicating poor overall performance. Academically, Hazelwood Elementary consistently underperforms the Jefferson County and Kentucky state averages across all grade levels and subject areas tested, with particularly low proficiency rates in Science, Writing, Social Studies, and Editing/Mechanics. The school's performance is also consistently lower across all student subgroups compared to the district and state averages, with especially concerning results for English Language Learner (ELL) students.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Jefferson County district, such as Cane Run Elementary, Mill Creek Elementary, and Frayser Elementary, also perform poorly on state assessments and have similar demographic profiles to Hazelwood Elementary. However, Schaffner Traditional Elementary, located about 2.4 miles from Hazelwood, consistently outperforms the other nearby schools and the district/state averages, suggesting that a more targeted, traditional approach to instruction may be beneficial.

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.
