Public Grades

Summary

Marie Roberts-Caney Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lost Creek, Kentucky, serving 231 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Breathitt County School District, which is ranked 134 out of 160 districts in the state.

While the school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (96.1%) compared to the state average, its academic performance is consistently lower than both state and county levels. For example, in 3rd grade reading, the school's proficiency rate was just 22%, far below the state average of 46% and the Breathitt County average of 36%. The school has also maintained a low 0-1 star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools, with a ranking of 658 out of 687 in 2022-2023. This trend extends to various student subgroups, with the school's ranking for white students at 650 out of 658.

Interestingly, some nearby schools, such as Highland-Turner Elementary School and West Perry Elementary School, perform significantly better on academic measures and have higher school rankings. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (76.19%) at Marie Roberts-Caney Elementary, along with its location in a low-performing school district, may be contributing factors to its academic struggles. Addressing these underlying issues could be crucial in improving the school's performance and providing a more well-rounded educational experience for its students.
