Elementary Schools in Hazard Independent


Summary:

The Hazard Independent school district in Kentucky has only one elementary school, Roy G. Eversole Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 363 out of 687 Kentucky elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 320 out of 685 in 2023-2024.

Roy G. Eversole Elementary School's academic performance is mixed, with strengths in 4th grade mathematics but weaknesses in 3rd and 4th grade reading. The school outperformed the state average in 4th grade mathematics (55% proficient or better vs. 43% statewide) but underperformed in 3rd and 4th grade reading (44% and 45% proficient or better vs. 47% and 50% statewide, respectively). In science, the school's 4th grade proficiency rate of 38% is higher than the state average of 34%.

The school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with 57.86% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023. Despite this, the school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $13,624, which is higher than the state average. This suggests the district is investing resources in the school, but the declining performance and ranking suggest these resources may not be translating into improved student outcomes.
