Summary

South Green Elementary School is a public elementary school in Glasgow, Kentucky, serving 558 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Glasgow Independent School District.

South Green Elementary is a strong-performing school, ranking in the top 30% of Kentucky elementary schools with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in core subjects like Mathematics, Reading, and Science are consistently higher than the district and state averages, particularly in 4th and 5th-grade Reading where proficiency is around 10 percentage points above the state average. The school has also demonstrated strong performance across various student subgroups, though its performance for Special Education students is an area of concern.

However, South Green Elementary faces challenges related to chronic absenteeism, with rates rising from 16.5% in 2021-2022 to 25.0% in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, around 60% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may contribute to this issue. By learning from the practices of higher-performing nearby schools, such as Hiseville Elementary and Red Cross Elementary, and strategically allocating resources, South Green Elementary can continue to improve and provide an excellent education for its students.
