Eastern Elementary School

Summary:

Eastern Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Georgetown, Kentucky, serving 459 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Scott County School District, which is ranked 80 out of 159 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Eastern Elementary School consistently ranks in the top half of Kentucky elementary schools, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on the Kentucky State Assessments is generally above the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics and reading. For example, in 2023-2024, 57% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 45% for the district and 41% for the state. The school's performance is strongest in the 5th-grade, where students consistently outperform the district and state in multiple subjects. However, the school's performance for Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students is significantly lower, ranking in the bottom 10% of Kentucky elementary schools for these subgroups.

While Eastern Elementary School outperforms the other elementary schools in the Scott County School District, it is less impressive when compared to schools outside the district, such as the Rise STEM Academy for Girls in Fayette County, which outperforms Eastern Elementary School in mathematics and reading, particularly for female students. Additionally, the school faces challenges in addressing the needs of its growing population of economically disadvantaged students, as the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch has increased from 25.36% in 2020-2021 to 34.42% in 2022-2023.

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.
