Summary

Price Elementary is a public magnet elementary school in Louisville, Kentucky, serving 428 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Jefferson County school district, which is ranked 140 out of 157 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Price Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Kentucky elementary schools over the past decade, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period. The school significantly underperforms the Jefferson County and Kentucky state averages in academic subjects, with only 15-27% of students proficient or better in reading and 21-26% proficient in math. Price Elementary also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25-38% in recent years.

While nearby schools like Klondike Lane Elementary, Luhr Elementary, and Slaughter Elementary generally outperform Price Elementary, they still lag behind state benchmarks. The early childhood centers serving the same area, George Unseld and Thomas Jefferson, also have very high rates of free/reduced-price lunch eligibility, suggesting the broader community faces significant socioeconomic challenges.

Both of my children have attended Price. Both have done wonderful and have almost always had caring, involved teachers. The majority of the teachers have stayed in touch with us and made their elementary years great learning experiences. The advance program has made them both more than ready for middle school learning! Close Quote

I am a parent to a 2nd grader and a k student. I don't suggest this school as a choice for your children. The staff is rude. They pass kids even if they should be held back a grade to help them advance in learning. My son should have been held back in 1st grade because he is dyslexic and having a very hard time in reading. After fighting with the school I finally got him the help he needs to catch up to his peers. They have been raising money for a new playground for 3 years now but the equipment they finally purchased is still not up to par. They are focused more on art which is good because I am an artist myself but you also need to focus on the more important things like reading, writing, and math. The principle does not have the student's best interest in mind. Close Quote
