East Perry County Elementary School

Summary:

East Perry County Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Hazard, Kentucky, with 652 students. While the school is part of the Perry County School District, which is ranked 58 out of 159 districts in the state, East Perry County Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from a high of 149 out of 690 Kentucky elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 431 out of 685 in 2023-2024.

The school's performance on state assessments (KSA) is generally below the Perry County and Kentucky averages across grade levels and subject areas, with the exception of certain areas like 4th grade math and 7th grade reading. However, the school's special education students and low socioeconomic status students perform better relative to their peers in the state. Nearby schools like West Perry Elementary School and Viper Elementary School generally outperform East Perry County Elementary, while the school performs better than some other nearby schools, such as Hindman Elementary and Robert W Combs Elementary.

The high percentage of students from low-income families at East Perry County Elementary School, with 60.89% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, likely presents significant challenges in terms of academic achievement and resource allocation. The school's relatively higher per-student spending of $13,735 in 2018-2019 may be an attempt to address these socioeconomic factors and provide additional support for its students.

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.
