Summary

Sebastian Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Jackson, Kentucky, serving grades 3-6 with a total enrollment of 373 students. The school is part of the Breathitt County School District, which is ranked 109 out of 157 districts in Kentucky and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sebastian Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools, with rankings ranging from 494 to 660 out of 700 schools over the past 10 years. It has maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period, indicating poor overall performance. The school struggles with the performance of certain student subgroups, with its ranking for White students in the bottom 10% of Kentucky elementary schools and its ranking for Low Socioeconomic Status students in the bottom 25%. However, the school performs better with its Special Education and Homeless student populations, ranking in the top 50% and top 25% respectively. Additionally, Sebastian Elementary has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25% to 34.6% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

When compared to other nearby schools, such as Highland-Turner Elementary, also in Breathitt County, Sebastian Elementary stands out as the lowest-performing. The high rates of poverty and chronic absenteeism at Sebastian Elementary may be contributing to the school's poor academic performance, which is consistently below the Breathitt County and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions, consistent funding, and collaboration with the broader community.
