Abraham Lincoln Elementary School

Q: Is Abraham Lincoln Elementary School a good school?

Abraham Lincoln Elementary School ranks 316 th of 685 Kentucky elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Abraham Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Hodgenville, Kentucky, serving 451 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the LaRue County School District, which is ranked 53 out of 159 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school has shown mixed academic performance over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 205 to 368 out of around 700 Kentucky elementary schools, its current 3-star rating and ranking of 316 out of 685 schools indicate room for improvement. The school's performance on the Kentucky State Assessments (KSA) is generally below the state and district averages, with the Disabled student subgroup consistently performing the poorest. Interestingly, nearby schools like Hodgenville Elementary School and Helmwood Heights Elementary School have generally outperformed Abraham Lincoln Elementary on academic measures.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Abraham Lincoln Elementary, ranging from 51.54% to 56.4% over the past few years, suggests that the school serves a relatively disadvantaged population, which may contribute to its academic challenges. Nearby schools with lower free and reduced-price lunch rates, such as Lincoln Trail Elementary, have generally performed better academically. Developing a comprehensive plan to address the school's academic weaknesses, while leveraging its strengths, could be crucial in improving student outcomes and the school's overall standing.

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.
