Second Street School has consistently underperformed compared to the state and district averages in academic assessments, with significantly lower proficiency rates in mathematics and reading across all grade levels. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school's White and Special Education students performing relatively better than their African American and Low Socioeconomic Status peers. Additionally, Second Street School has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 23.1% to 30.4% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages.

When compared to other nearby schools in the Frankfort area, such as Heritage Elementary and Ezra Sparrow Early Childhood Center, Second Street School generally underperforms in academic assessments and has higher chronic absenteeism rates. The school's declining performance over the years, as evidenced by its decreasing statewide ranking and lower proficiency rates, suggests the need for a comprehensive review and implementation of targeted interventions to address these challenges and improve outcomes for all students.
