Summary:
Utica, Kentucky is home to a single elementary school, Southern Oaks Elementary School, which serves 469 students from grades K-5. The school is ranked 175 out of 685 Kentucky elementary schools and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Southern Oaks Elementary School's performance on state assessments (KSA) is mixed compared to the Daviess County and Kentucky averages. While the school's proficiency rates in science and writing are above both the county and state averages, its math and reading proficiency rates lag behind the county average, though they remain above the state average. The school also has a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 25.0%, which may be impacting its academic performance.
Despite these challenges, Southern Oaks Elementary School benefits from higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to the state average. Additionally, the school serves a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 53.3% of its population eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing attendance issues and continuing to support the school's economically disadvantaged students may be key priorities for the district and school leadership.
