Summary:

The city of Allen, Kentucky has only one elementary school, Allen Elementary School, which serves students from prekindergarten through 5th grade. The school is located in Floyd County and has faced significant challenges in improving academic performance, particularly in mathematics.

Allen Elementary School has a low statewide ranking, placing between 446-486 out of 685-687 Kentucky elementary schools over the past 3 years, and is rated 1-2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance. The school's math proficiency rates are generally lower than the Floyd County and Kentucky state averages across all grade levels, while reading proficiency rates are mixed, with some grades performing above the district and state, and others below. The school also struggles with low proficiency rates in science, writing, social studies, and editing/mechanics.

Despite the school's academic challenges, it serves a high-needs population, with 83.2% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. The school's per-student spending of $14,094 in 2023-2024 is above the state average, and the student-teacher ratio of 17.8 in 2023-2024 is slightly higher than the typical recommended range. Additionally, the school faces a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.0% in the 2024-2025 school year, which is a significant concern that the school and district should address.
