Bloomfield Elementary School

Summary:

Bloomfield Elementary School is a public elementary school in Bloomfield, Kentucky, serving around 250 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Nelson County School District, which is ranked 148 out of 159 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bloomfield Elementary School has had a fluctuating performance over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 181 out of 694 Kentucky elementary schools in 2016-2017 (4-star rating) to 594 out of 684 in 2021-2022 (1-star rating). The school's current ranking for the 2023-2024 school year is 528 out of 685 Kentucky elementary schools, with a 1-star rating. Bloomfield Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the state and Nelson County averages in core subject areas like Mathematics, Reading, and Science. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, including female students, male students, white students, special education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Interestingly, Bloomfield Elementary School's performance is generally lower than that of nearby schools in the Bullitt County and Nelson County districts, such as Foster Heights Elementary, Coxs Creek Elementary, and Old Mill Elementary. The high percentage of students from low-income families at Bloomfield Elementary School may be a significant factor contributing to the school's academic challenges, and the school's high spending per student suggests that resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to address the specific needs of the student population.

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.
