Olmstead Elementary School

Summary:

Olmstead Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Olmstead, Kentucky, with 402 students. The school is part of the Logan County School District, which is ranked 52 out of 159 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Olmstead Elementary School has had a fluctuating performance over the past several years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 43rd out of 694 Kentucky elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 330th out of 687 in 2022-2023. The school currently holds a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. One of the school's key strengths is its consistent outperformance of the Logan County and Kentucky averages in mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. However, the school's reading performance is more mixed, with some grades performing above the county and state averages, and others performing below. Additionally, the school's special education and low socioeconomic status student populations are areas of concern, with declining performance in recent years.

Compared to nearby schools in the Logan County district, Olmstead Elementary School generally outperforms its peers, particularly in mathematics. However, some schools like Auburn Elementary and Adairville Elementary have shown stronger performance in certain subject areas and grade levels. When compared to schools outside the Logan County district, such as those in the Christian County and Todd County districts, Olmstead Elementary School appears to have an advantage in overall performance, though the gap is not as pronounced as within the Logan County 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.
