Stanford Elementary School

Summary:

Stanford Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 589 students in grades PK-5 in Stanford, Kentucky. The school is part of the Lincoln County School District, which is ranked 96 out of 159 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of the Lincoln County district, Stanford Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools over the past 10 years, with proficiency rates in math, reading, and other subjects significantly lower than the district and state averages. For example, in 5th grade math, Stanford's proficiency rate is 31% compared to 43% for Lincoln County and 41% for the state. The school's performance is particularly weak for certain student subgroups, such as male students, white students, and students with disabilities, who rank in the bottom 10-15% of Kentucky elementary schools in those categories.

The high percentage of students from low-income families at Stanford Elementary, ranging from 64% to 71% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, is likely a significant contributor to its academic struggles. While the school's spending per student and student-teacher ratio are on par with nearby schools and the state average, other Lincoln County elementary schools, such as Hustonville Elementary and Crab Orchard Elementary, are outperforming Stanford Elementary, suggesting the need for the school to examine its own practices and strategies to improve student outcomes.

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.
