Hindman Elementary School

Summary:

Hindman Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Hindman, Kentucky, with 430 students. It is part of the Knott County School District, which is ranked 79 out of 159 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hindman Elementary's student performance on the Kentucky State Assessments (KSA) is generally below the Knott County and state averages across most grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in mathematics ranged from 25% to 37%, compared to 32% to 44% for Knott County and 37% to 43% for the state. In reading, Hindman's proficiency rates were 31% to 70%, versus 47% to 60% for Knott County and 41% to 50% for Kentucky. The school also has a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 68.61% to 73.95% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

While Hindman Elementary's overall performance is below average, the school does show some strengths in certain areas, such as its 4th-grade reading proficiency rates, which have been consistently higher than the Knott County and state averages, reaching as high as 74% in 2022-2023. The nearby schools in the Knott County district, such as Beaver Creek Elementary, Jones Fork Elementary, Carr Creek Elementary, and Emmalena Elementary, generally perform at a similar or slightly higher level than Hindman Elementary on the KSA assessments, but also have high percentages of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, indicating that the economic challenges faced by Hindman's students are not unique to the school.

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.
