Summary:
Central City, Kentucky has only one public elementary school, Central City Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with 406 students. The school is part of the Muhlenberg County School District, which is ranked 126 out of 157 districts in Kentucky and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Central City Elementary has consistently low performance on state assessments compared to the district and state averages. In most subject areas and grade levels, the school's proficiency rates are significantly below the district and state levels. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 25.0% is quite high, which could be a contributing factor to the low academic performance. The school serves a high-need population, with 75.86% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the low academic performance, the school spends a relatively high amount per student ($14,632) and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio (14.4). This indicates that the school is investing resources into its students, but the outcomes do not yet reflect the investment. The school's performance has been consistently low over the past few years, with little improvement observed in the data provided, suggesting that the school may need to implement more comprehensive and effective strategies to address the underlying issues and improve student outcomes.
