Summary

Allen Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Allen, Kentucky, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 482 students. The school is part of the Floyd County School District, which is ranked 114 out of 157 districts in Kentucky and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Allen Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the state and county averages in most subject areas and grade levels based on the Kentucky State Assessment (KSA) scores. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics ranged from 18% to 45%, while the state averages ranged from 40% to 44%. In Reading, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 30% to 63%, compared to the state averages of 47% to 52%. The school's performance has fluctuated over the years, with some improvements in certain subjects and grades, but overall, it remains below the state and county benchmarks. Additionally, Allen Elementary School has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 83.2% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year.

When compared to other nearby schools, Allen Elementary School generally performs worse academically, with lower proficiency rates in core subjects. However, one exception is May Valley Elementary School, which consistently outperforms Allen Elementary School and the state averages in most subject areas. Nearby schools in other districts, such as Paintsville Elementary School and Mullins Elementary School, also tend to outperform Allen Elementary School. Despite the school's increased per-student spending, from $11,926 in 2020-2021 to $14,094 in 2023-2024, its academic performance has not shown a corresponding improvement, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be contributing to the school's challenges.
