Summary:
The city of Dayton, Kentucky is home to two schools: Lincoln Elementary School and Dayton High School, serving a total of 870 students. While Lincoln Elementary generally outperforms the Dayton Independent district and the state of Kentucky in Mathematics and Reading proficiency, Dayton High School struggles with Mathematics but performs better in Reading and Writing.
Lincoln Elementary School stands out with its relatively high proficiency rates in Mathematics and Reading, particularly in 3rd and 6th grades. However, the school also has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 25%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Dayton High School, on the other hand, impresses with its 93.5% four-year graduation rate, which is significantly higher than the state average, and a low dropout rate of 1.1%.
Both schools have a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant economically disadvantaged population. The district appears to be investing significant resources in these schools, with relatively low student-teacher ratios and high spending per student. However, the mixed academic performance suggests that the district may need to address specific challenges to improve educational outcomes for all students.
