Summary

The school is part of the Covington Independent School District, which is ranked 130 out of 157 districts in Kentucky and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sixth District Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools, with a ranking between 412 and 654 out of 684-705 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on state assessments (KSA) is significantly below the Covington Independent district and the state of Kentucky averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in Mathematics ranged from 19% to 36% at Sixth District, compared to 29% to 41% for the Covington Independent district and 43% to 44% for the state. The school also has a high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with 85.32% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year.

When comparing Sixth District Elementary to nearby schools within the Covington Independent district, such as Latonia Elementary, Glenn O Swing Elementary, and John G Carlisle Elementary, the performance gap becomes even more pronounced. These schools generally perform better than Sixth District Elementary on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates and higher state rankings. However, these schools also serve a similar demographic of students, with high percentages of economically disadvantaged and minority students. When comparing Sixth District Elementary to higher-performing schools outside the Covington Independent district, such as Moyer Elementary in the Fort Thomas Independent district and Ft Wright Elementary in the Kenton County district, the performance gap becomes even more pronounced.
