Schaffner Traditional Elementary

Summary:

Schaffner Traditional Elementary is a public magnet elementary school in Louisville, Kentucky, serving 599 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.

Schaffner Traditional Elementary has consistently outperformed the Jefferson County and Kentucky state averages in core academic subjects like mathematics, reading, science, and writing. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 4th-grade mathematics proficiency rate was 52%, compared to 31% for the district and 43% for the state. Schaffner's performance is particularly strong in reading, with 4th-grade proficiency at 49% compared to 38% for the district and 50% for the state. However, the school's ranking for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds is much lower, at 483rd out of 665 Kentucky elementary schools in 2023-2024.

Despite Schaffner Traditional Elementary's generally strong academic performance, the school's statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating have steadily declined over the past several years, dropping from a high of 27th out of 694 Kentucky elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 420th out of 685 in the current 2023-2024 school year. This suggests that the school may be facing challenges that are impacting its overall competitiveness with other top-performing schools in the state. Compared to nearby schools like Carter Traditional Elementary and Wellington Elementary, Schaffner stands out with its higher academic performance, but these nearby schools also have strong programs and may be competing for the same student population.

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.
