Uniontown Elementary School

Summary:

Uniontown Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades K-5 in Uniontown, Kentucky, with 208 students enrolled. The school is part of the Union County School District, which is ranked 151 out of 159 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Uniontown Elementary consistently underperforms compared to state and county averages on standardized tests, with only 29% of 4th graders proficient or better in math and 34% of 5th graders proficient or better in reading, compared to 43% and 46% statewide, respectively. The school also struggles to effectively serve its student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Kentucky elementary schools for female, male, white, and low-socioeconomic status students. Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12-13 students per teacher, the school's academic performance has declined over the past decade, dropping from a rank of 361 out of 694 Kentucky elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 608 out of 685 in 2023-2024.

Interestingly, the nearby Jefferson Elementary School, South Heights Elementary School, Cairo Elementary School, and A.B. Chandler Elementary School, all part of the Henderson County district, significantly outperform Uniontown Elementary, despite serving student populations with higher rates of poverty. This suggests that the challenges faced by Uniontown Elementary may be more systemic within the Union County School District.

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.
