Warfield Elementary School

Summary:

Warfield Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Warfield, Kentucky, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 304 students. The school is part of the Martin County School District, which is ranked 137 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Warfield Elementary School consistently performs below the state and county averages in academic assessments across various subjects and grade levels. The school struggles to support the academic achievement of specific student subgroups, with rankings for female, male, and white students consistently in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools. With over 80% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Warfield Elementary School has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which likely contributes to the school's academic challenges. Despite spending more per student ($15,090 in 2018-2019) compared to the state average, the school's academic outcomes have not improved, and its statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past decade.

In contrast, the nearby Louisa East Elementary School and Belfry Elementary, which are part of the Lawrence County and Pike County districts, respectively, demonstrate significantly higher academic performance and rankings. This highlights the disparities in educational opportunities and outcomes within the region, suggesting the need for a comprehensive review and implementation of targeted interventions to improve educational outcomes for the students of Warfield Elementary School.

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.
