Maupin Elementary

Summary:

Maupin Elementary is a public elementary school in Louisville, Kentucky, serving 298 students in grades PK-5. Despite being part of the Jefferson County School District, which is ranked 141 out of 159 districts in the state, Maupin Elementary has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Kentucky over the past decade, consistently ranking in the bottom 5% of schools statewide.

Maupin Elementary's academic performance is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 4% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in writing, compared to 26% in the district and 39% statewide. Similarly, only 6% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in social studies, compared to 28% in the district and 39% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as African American students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Despite relatively high spending per student and a low student-teacher ratio, Maupin Elementary's academic outcomes remain extremely poor.

When comparing Maupin Elementary to nearby schools in the same district, it becomes clear that the school is an outlier in terms of academic performance. For instance, Brandeis Elementary, located just 0.62 miles away, has significantly higher proficiency rates across all subject areas and grade levels, ranking in the top 50% of Kentucky elementary schools. Addressing the root causes of Maupin Elementary's persistent underperformance will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that goes beyond simply increasing funding and resources.

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.
