Summary

William G. Conkwright Elementary is a public elementary school in Winchester, Kentucky, serving 504 students in grades K-4. The school is part of the Clark County School District, which is ranked 127 out of 157 districts in the state.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $16,674, William G. Conkwright Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools, with proficiency rates in mathematics, reading, and science that are 10-15 percentage points lower than the state and county averages. The school's performance is particularly weak for male students, who rank in the bottom 10% of Kentucky elementary schools. Additionally, William G. Conkwright Elementary has significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25% to 31.3% in recent years, compared to the state and county averages.

Interestingly, the nearby Strode Station Elementary, Shearer Elementary, and Willis H. Justice Elementary schools generally perform better academically, with higher proficiency rates and better rankings. These nearby schools also have lower chronic absenteeism rates and a lower percentage of students from low-income backgrounds, which may be contributing factors to William G. Conkwright Elementary's relatively poor academic performance.
