Camargo Elementary School

Summary:

Camargo Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Mount Sterling, Kentucky, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 576 students. The school is part of the Montgomery County School District, which is ranked 82 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Camargo Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools, ranging from 194th to 524th out of 644-705 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance is particularly poor for female, white, and disabled students, ranking in the bottom 25% of Kentucky elementary schools for these subgroups. However, the school performs better for low socioeconomic status students, ranking in the top 50% of Kentucky elementary schools in this category. Academically, Camargo Elementary consistently lags behind the Montgomery County and Kentucky state averages in proficiency rates across all subject areas and grade levels.

Interestingly, the nearby Northview Elementary, Mapleton Elementary, and Mount Sterling Elementary schools all rank in the top 50% of Kentucky elementary schools and outperform Camargo in academic achievement. The broader regional trend suggests that the challenges faced by Camargo Elementary may not be unique, as other nearby schools in the Clark County and Bath County districts also generally perform worse than the Montgomery County 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.
