Summary:

Sebree Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Sebree, Kentucky, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 390 students. The school is part of the Webster County School District, which is ranked 126 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sebree Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools, with a ranking between 473 and 631 out of 684-700 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on state assessments (KSA) is significantly below the state and district averages across multiple subjects and grade levels, particularly in Writing and Editing/Mechanics. Sebree Elementary School has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 76.67% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, and a relatively high percentage of Hispanic students, who rank in the bottom 20% of Kentucky elementary schools in terms of academic performance. The school's higher student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending may also contribute to the challenges it faces in improving student outcomes.

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.
