Caverna Independent


Summary:

The Caverna Independent school district in Kentucky operates three schools: Caverna Elementary School, Caverna High School, and Caverna Middle School. Based on the available data, none of the Caverna schools appear to be performing at a high level compared to state averages.

The test scores across all three Caverna schools are significantly lower than the state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 21-39% in core subjects like math, reading, and science. Attendance is also a concern, as all three schools have chronic absenteeism rates of 25%, well above the state average. However, Caverna High School does have a relatively strong four-year graduation rate of 93.5% and a low dropout rate of 1.1%.

Despite the high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios, the Caverna schools continue to struggle. This suggests that the district may need to re-evaluate how resources are being allocated and utilized to better support student learning. Additionally, the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients indicate that the Caverna schools serve a population with significant economic disadvantage, which could be a contributing factor to the low academic performance. Overall, the Caverna Independent school district has significant room for improvement across a variety of key metrics.
