Summary

Field Elementary is a public 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.

Field Elementary consistently performs above the Jefferson County and Kentucky state averages in standardized test scores across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 5th grade Reading, Field Elementary had a 63% proficiency rate, compared to 38% for the district and 50% for the state. The school has maintained a strong academic performance, consistently ranking in the top 30% of Kentucky elementary schools over the past several years, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

However, Field Elementary faces some challenges. The school has shown significant performance gaps between different student subgroups, with its White student population performing well but its African American, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students performing relatively lower. Additionally, the school has experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the district and state averages, ranging from 16% to 38.1% over the past few years. The school's higher spending per student compared to the district average suggests it may have access to additional resources, which could be utilized to address these areas of concern and ensure equitable outcomes for all students.
