Summary:
The Russellville Independent school district in Kentucky operates three schools: R E Stevenson Elementary School, Russellville High School, and Russellville Middle School. Overall, the district appears to be struggling, with all three schools performing well below the state averages on most metrics.
R E Stevenson Elementary School has the lowest statewide ranking, with proficiency rates ranging from 7% to 33% across different subjects and grade levels. Russellville High School has a slightly higher statewide ranking, but its test scores are still below the state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 16% to 49%. Russellville Middle School has the lowest statewide ranking of the three, with proficiency rates ranging from 27% to 42% across different subjects and grade levels.
All three schools have high chronic absenteeism rates of 25%, significantly above the state average. The district also has high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 68.15% at Russellville High School to 98.48% at R E Stevenson Elementary School, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. While the district is investing resources into its schools, with relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios, these inputs do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. Addressing the root causes of the low academic achievement, high absenteeism, and economic disadvantage will be crucial for the district to improve its standing and better serve its community.
