Elementary Schools in Grant County

Summary:

The Grant County school district in Kentucky is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. Based on the available data, Dry Ridge Elementary stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, consistently outperforming the other Grant County elementary schools and the state averages on academic measures like math, reading, and writing proficiency. This school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.4, which may contribute to its stronger academic performance.

In contrast, Sherman Elementary struggles to meet the county and state averages on many academic metrics, despite serving a high-need student population with 84.06% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This school also has a higher student-teacher ratio of 14.6 compared to Dry Ridge Elementary. The other two schools, Crittenden-Mt. Zion Elementary and Mason-Corinth Elementary, fall somewhere in the middle, with mixed academic performance compared to the district and state.

Across all 4 elementary schools in the Grant County district, there is a concerning 25.0% chronic absenteeism rate, which likely impacts student learning and achievement. Additionally, the schools have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 68.1% to 84.06%, indicating significant economic challenges faced by the student populations. These factors, combined with the disparities in academic performance, suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to ensure all students in Grant County have access to a high-quality education.
