Chandlers Elementary School

Summary:

Chandlers Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Russellville, Kentucky, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 445 students. The school is part of the Logan County School District, which is ranked 52 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a moderately-ranked district, Chandlers Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the Logan County and Kentucky state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics and Reading were significantly lower than the county and state averages. Additionally, the school struggles to effectively serve certain student subgroups, with rankings for female, male, white, and low socioeconomic status students consistently in the bottom quartile of Kentucky elementary schools.

Further, Chandlers Elementary spends less per student ($11,467 in 2018-2019) compared to the nearby Adairville Elementary ($13,760) and Olmstead Elementary ($12,881) schools, and has a higher student-teacher ratio. This suggests that the school's academic challenges may be partly due to inadequate resource allocation. Overall, Chandlers Elementary faces significant academic and equity concerns, and addressing these issues should be a priority for the school and district.

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.
