Summary

Saffell Street Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, serving grades 1-5 with a total enrollment of 409 students. The school is part of the Anderson County School District, which is ranked 54 out of 157 districts in Kentucky and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Saffell Street Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools, with a ranking between 350-539 out of 685-700 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on state assessments (KSA) is significantly below the Anderson County and Kentucky averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics and Reading were 19-45%, compared to 50-55% for Anderson County and 43-50% for the state. Saffell Street's performance is particularly low for special education and low socioeconomic status (SES) student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Kentucky elementary schools for these groups.

The nearby Robert B. Turner Elementary School and Emma B. Ward Elementary School, both part of the Anderson County School District, significantly outperform Saffell Street Elementary on academic measures, ranking in the top 25-50% of Kentucky elementary schools. These nearby schools have higher proficiency rates in Mathematics and Reading, lower chronic absenteeism, and a lower percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite spending more per student and having a lower student-teacher ratio, Saffell Street Elementary's academic performance lags behind the nearby schools, suggesting that simply increasing funding and resources may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes.
