Similarly, Cecilia Valley Elementary School is ranked 250 out of 685 Kentucky elementary schools and significantly outperforms the district and state in Mathematics and Reading, particularly in 3rd grade.
While the elementary and middle schools have relatively high free and reduced lunch rates, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families, the schools in Cecilia benefit from high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios. However, the district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 25% is a concern that may impact student learning and achievement. Overall, the Cecilia school system demonstrates a mix of strong-performing schools and areas for improvement, providing parents with a range of educational options in the community.
