Summary

LaGrange Elementary School is a public elementary school in La Grange, Kentucky, serving 462 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Oldham County School District, which is ranked 10th out of 157 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, LaGrange Elementary has shown mixed performance compared to the Oldham County and Kentucky state averages. While the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (38% to 44%) and Reading (46% to 60%) are lower than the district and state, it performed better in Writing with a 69% proficiency rate in 5th grade. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with female students and Hispanic students generally outperforming their peers. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 10% to 28%, are significantly higher than the district and state averages.

Interestingly, nearby Harmony Elementary, Camden Station Elementary, and Buckner Elementary schools in the Oldham County School District generally outperform LaGrange Elementary in academic test scores and other key metrics. These nearby schools also have lower chronic absenteeism rates and a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a more advantaged student population. Despite the higher spending per student at LaGrange Elementary, the school's student-teacher ratio remains relatively high, indicating that the additional resources may not have been effectively utilized to address the school's challenges.
