LaGrange Elementary School

Summary:

LaGrange Elementary School is a public elementary school in La Grange, Kentucky, serving 460 students in grades K-5 and part of the Oldham County School District, which is ranked 13th out of 159 districts in the state.

LaGrange Elementary School has shown steady academic improvement in recent years, with proficiency rates in Mathematics, Reading, and Writing generally exceeding state averages, particularly in 5th-grade Writing at 84%. The school performs well for Hispanic, White, and English Language Learner students, ranking in the top 25-35% of Kentucky elementary schools. However, the school's performance for Special Education and Disabled student subgroups is relatively weaker. Compared to nearby schools, LaGrange Elementary outperforms lower-performing schools in the Jefferson County district, but still has room for improvement to reach the top-tier performance of some other Oldham County schools, such as Harmony Elementary, Buckner Elementary, and Kenwood Station Elementary.

Despite having a higher proportion of students from lower-income families, as indicated by the free and reduced-lunch rate, LaGrange Elementary School is effectively serving its diverse student population and providing necessary resources to support their academic success, as evidenced by its higher per-student spending compared to the district average. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.2 to 11.1, is also a notable strength that likely contributes to its academic performance.

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.
