Stephens Elementary School

Summary:

Stephens Elementary School is a public elementary school in Burlington, Kentucky, serving 571 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Boone County School District, which is ranked 31 out of 159 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

While Stephens Elementary School has consistently ranked in the middle-to-lower range of Kentucky elementary schools over the past 10 years, its academic performance on state assessments is generally below the Boone County and Kentucky state averages across various subjects and grade levels. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with female students, white students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds performing better than students with disabilities and Hispanic students.

Interestingly, Stephens Elementary School's performance is lower than that of other nearby schools in the Boone County district, such as Erpenbeck Elementary, Thornwilde Elementary, and Burlington Elementary, which have consistently ranked in the top 100-200 elementary schools in Kentucky. This may be due to the higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Stephens Elementary, suggesting that socioeconomic factors play a role in the school's academic performance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
