Ezel Elementary School consistently performs above the state and district averages in various academic subjects. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school had 60% of 3rd graders, 63% of 4th graders, and 39% of 5th graders proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 50% and 43% for the Morgan County and Kentucky averages, respectively. Similarly, the school's reading proficiency rates were 67% for 3rd grade, 75% for 4th grade, and 61% for 5th grade, outperforming the district and state averages. The school has also shown strong performance across different student subgroups, ranking 62nd out of 652 Kentucky elementary schools for male students and 87th out of 665 for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

While Ezel Elementary School has generally performed well, there has been a noticeable decline in its statewide ranking and performance in recent years. The school's ranking dropped from the top 5% in 2015-2016 to the top 15% in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger star rating has decreased from 5 stars to 4 stars during this period. This decline may be attributed to the school's high percentage of students from low-income families, with 64.17% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. When compared to nearby schools, such as Clearfield Elementary School and Campton Elementary School, Ezel Elementary School generally outperforms its peers in academic achievement, but some schools have shown stronger performance in certain subject areas or student subgroups.

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.
