Summary:
The city of Whitesville, Kentucky has only one school, Whitesville Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with 371 students. Whitesville Elementary is part of the Daviess County School District, which ranks 39 out of 157 districts in Kentucky and has a 4-star rating.
Whitesville Elementary stands out for its strong mathematics performance, with proficiency rates ranging from 53-64% across grades 3-5, outperforming both the Daviess County and Kentucky averages. However, the school's reading, science, and social studies proficiency rates are more mixed, with some grades performing above and others below the district and state averages. The school's 25.0% chronic absenteeism rate is quite high, potentially indicating challenges with student engagement and attendance that could be impacting overall academic performance.
With over 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Whitesville Elementary serves a relatively high-need population. The school's performance in this context is commendable, and its relatively high per-student spending of $16,360 suggests it has access to adequate resources, which could be a factor in its stronger mathematics results. However, the mixed performance in other subjects indicates there may be opportunities to optimize resource allocation and instructional approaches to address areas for improvement.
