Summary:
The 42127 zip code has only one school, Caverna Elementary School, which serves students in the Caverna Independent school district. This school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools, with a statewide ranking of 653 out of 685 schools in the 2023-2024 school year.
Caverna Elementary School's performance on the Kentucky State Assessments (KSA) is significantly below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics and Reading were around 20% and 25% for 3rd grade, compared to the state averages of 43% and 47%, respectively. The school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 78.39% in the 2022-2023 school year, which may contribute to the academic challenges.
Despite the higher per-student spending of $14,414 in the 2018-2019 school year and a lower student-teacher ratio of 11.4 to 1 in the 2022-2023 school year, the school's academic performance remains significantly below the state averages. This raises questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources to support student learning, and the need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying factors contributing to the school's low performance.
