Summary

Maupin Elementary is a public elementary school in Louisville, Kentucky, serving 307 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. Despite its proximity to several higher-performing magnet schools, Maupin Elementary has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Kentucky, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Maupin Elementary faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates (ranging from 25% to 45.1%), poor academic performance (only 28% of 5th graders were proficient or better in Reading, compared to 38% in the district and 50% statewide), and a high percentage of students (over 85%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's subgroups, including female students, male students, African American students, and low socioeconomic status students, all rank among the lowest in the state, indicating significant achievement gaps. Despite spending significantly more per student ($28,304 in 2023-2024) compared to the district and state averages, Maupin Elementary has been unable to improve its academic outcomes over the past decade.

While the nearby Brandeis Elementary and Carter Traditional Elementary schools also serve high-poverty populations, they are able to achieve significantly better academic outcomes, suggesting that the school model and instructional practices may play a role in student success. Addressing the root causes of Maupin's struggles, whether through targeted interventions, school leadership changes, or a comprehensive school improvement plan, will be crucial for improving outcomes for its students.
