Summit View Academy

Summary:

Summit View Academy is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Independence, Kentucky, with an enrollment of 1,431 students. The school is part of the Kenton County School District, which is ranked 15th out of 159 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Overall, Summit View Academy appears to be a solid, well-performing school within the Kenton County district, with some areas of strength and some opportunities for improvement. The school's student performance on the Kentucky State Assessments (KSA) is generally above the state average but below the Kenton County district average across most grade levels and subject areas. However, the school stands out in particular subject areas, such as 5th grade Mathematics and 8th grade Writing, where its proficiency rates exceed both the Kenton County and state averages. When compared to other elementary schools in the Kenton County district, Summit View Academy generally performs at a similar or slightly lower level, with some exceptions like Kenton Elementary and R.C. Hinsdale Elementary, which consistently outperform Summit View Academy.

One area of concern is the school's lower performance for Special Education and Disabled students, suggesting a need to evaluate and potentially strengthen the support and resources provided to these student populations. Conversely, the school's high rankings for Multi-racial students indicate that it may be effectively meeting the needs of this subgroup. Additionally, Summit View Academy significantly outperforms the nearby Erlanger-Elsmere Independent district schools, such as Howell Elementary and Arnett Elementary, which struggle with much lower proficiency rates.

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.
