The school is part of the Lee County School District, which is ranked 147 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Lee County Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 419 and 605 over the past 10 years. The school's performance on state assessments (KSA) is also below the state average across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics, Reading, and Science were 38%, 40%, and 29%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 43%, 47%, and 34%. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with male students generally performing better than female students, and White students and students with low socioeconomic status performing significantly worse than the state averages.

Despite the school's challenges, there are opportunities for improvement. The school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $11,211 to $11,330 in recent years, suggests a potential focus on resource allocation that could be leveraged to implement targeted interventions and support programs. When compared to nearby schools, such as Tyner Elementary School and McKee Elementary School in the Jackson County School District, Lee County Elementary School's performance is generally lower, suggesting opportunities to learn from the successes of these neighboring schools.

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.
