Summary:
The Southgate Public School is the sole elementary school in the Southgate Independent school district in Kentucky, serving grades PK-8 with an enrollment of 195 students.
Southgate Public School appears to be a relatively strong-performing school within its district and the state of Kentucky. The school is ranked 323 out of 685 Kentucky elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year, placing it in the top half of the state. Additionally, the school's district, Southgate Independent, is ranked 23 out of 157 districts in Kentucky and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. Southgate Public School has also shown improvement in its state ranking over the past few years, moving from 466 out of 685 schools in 2023-2024 to 323 out of 685 in 2024-2025.
The school generally outperforms the state average in both math and reading proficiency across multiple grade levels, with a relatively low dropout rate of 1.1%. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate for 2024-2025 was 25.0%, which is higher than the state would likely prefer. The school's high spending per student of $26,777 and low student-teacher ratio of 10:1 suggest a significant investment in resources and support for students, though a relatively high percentage of the school's students (67.18%) receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher level of economic need among the student population.
