Summary

Erpenbeck Elementary School is a public elementary school in Florence, Kentucky, serving 764 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Boone County School District, which is ranked 40 out of 157 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Erpenbeck Elementary is a standout performer, consistently ranking in the top 10% of Kentucky elementary schools. The school outperforms the Boone County and state averages on standardized tests, with 81% of 3rd graders proficient or better in mathematics compared to 55% in the county and 43% statewide. Erpenbeck also has strong performance across various student subgroups, including male, female, and White students. However, the school's performance for English Language Learners and Special Education students is less impressive.

While Erpenbeck Elementary has lower chronic absenteeism rates than the district and state, the school has seen a concerning increase in recent years, from 7.4% in 2020-2021 to 25.0% in 2024-2025. This trend is worth further investigation. The school's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio compared to the district and state averages may contribute to its strong academic performance, suggesting that investing in resources and maintaining smaller class sizes can positively impact student outcomes. Overall, Erpenbeck Elementary is a high-performing school that consistently outperforms its peers, but it also faces challenges in addressing the needs of specific student subgroups and addressing rising chronic absenteeism.
