Summary

Klondike Lane Elementary is a public elementary school in Louisville, Kentucky, serving 463 students in grades PK-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.

Klondike Lane Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Klondike Lane Elementary elementary schools in Kentucky, with a 1-star or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school underperforms compared to the district and state averages in academic proficiency across subjects, with particularly low performance for English Language Learners, Special Education students, and students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. Greathouse/Shryock Traditional, a nearby magnet school, consistently ranks among the top 5 elementary schools in the state and outperforms Klondike Lane Elementary.

Despite the school's challenges, Klondike Lane Elementary has a relatively high per-student spending of $21,618, suggesting that the issue may not be solely a lack of resources, but rather how those resources are being utilized and targeted to address the specific needs of the school's diverse student population. Addressing the school's performance will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to identify and address the root causes of its struggles.

My daughter has attended Klondike for 5 1/2 years, and we have really liked the diversity of the school. My daughter has had the opportunity to be involved in academic and athletic events. Close Quote

Klondike is a perfect elementary for my family. The teachers care very much about every kid's progress, and the principle is always active/involved. It always feels safe and clean. The school has a lot of diversity which allows my children to learn from all the cultures in our community. My child is in the AP program and scoring in the top of JCPS students, so you aren’t making any academic compromises. We also enjoy the cross country and quick recall teams. With the school being so close to home, they don’t spend 1+ hours on the bus. This school also has the best CEP staff in the county – they are awesome (CEP = before/after YMCA care)! My kids look forward every morning to going to school and want to stay in CEP until the last minute, what more can you say! Close Quote

If you have a child that learns core standards better in smaller settings, Klondike is the school for you. They have intervention time that allows students who are struggling with reading get that specific attention they need to improve their skills. This method has worked wonders for my daughters.
