Williamsburg City School

Summary:

Williamsburg City School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in Williamsburg, Kentucky, with 835 students. The school has a strong 91.5% four-year graduation rate, which is higher than the state average, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.2 compared to nearby schools like Barbourville City School (18.2) and Corbin School of Innovation (27.9).

Williamsburg City School outperforms the state average in several subject areas, including 11th grade ACT English, 10th grade KSA Reading, 5th grade KSA Writing, and 11th grade KSA Social Studies. However, the school underperforms the state average in 11th grade ACT Math and 10th grade KSA Math. Nearby Barbourville City School has higher test scores than Williamsburg City School in some areas, while Corbin School of Innovation has lower scores in many subjects. Williamsburg City School serves a predominantly low-income population, with over 73% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may impact academic performance.

Despite the challenges of serving a high-poverty population, Williamsburg City School appears to be providing effective support and resources for its students, as evidenced by its high graduation rate and relatively low student-teacher ratio. The school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $17,011 in 2018-2019 and $18,171 in 2017-2018 suggests that it has access to more resources than the state average, which could contribute to its academic performance and 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.
