Summary

Roby Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Shepherdsville, Kentucky, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 448 students. The school is part of the Bullitt County School District, which is ranked 124 out of 157 districts in Kentucky and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Roby Elementary consistently performs below the Bullitt County and Kentucky state averages in proficiency rates for mathematics, reading, science, writing, social studies, and editing/mechanics across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Roby's 3rd-grade mathematics proficiency rate was 11%, compared to 35% for Bullitt County and 43% for the state, and Roby's 5th-grade reading proficiency rate was 43%, compared to 41% for Bullitt County and 50% for the state. Additionally, Roby Elementary has significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state average, with a rate of 25% in the 2024-2025 school year, while the state average was around 19%.

Despite the school's low performance, Roby Elementary spends a relatively high amount per student, with a per-student spending of $17,439 in the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than the state average. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 17.2, suggesting that the school may have adequate resources and staffing, but these resources are not translating into improved academic outcomes. Roby Elementary's performance lags behind most of its nearby counterparts, such as Overdale Elementary, Cedar Grove Elementary, and Pleasant Grove Elementary, which all have higher proficiency rates and better overall rankings.
