Summary

Florence Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Florence, Kentucky, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 577 students. The school is part of the Boone County School District, which is ranked 40 out of 157 districts in Kentucky and is rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

While Florence Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools over the past 10 years, the school's performance on state assessments is generally below the Boone County and Kentucky averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics, Science, and Writing are particularly low compared to the district and state. However, the school's gradual improvement and the availability of resources suggest that there may be opportunities for further progress with targeted interventions and support.

In contrast, the nearby schools in the Erlanger-Elsmere Independent School District, such as Howell Elementary School and Arnett Elementary School, have even lower performance than Florence Elementary School.
