Summary

Radcliff Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 1-5 in Radcliff, Kentucky, with 412 students. The school is part of the Hardin County School District, which is ranked 80 out of 157 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Radcliff Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools, with a 0-1 star rating.

Radcliff Elementary School significantly underperforms compared to the Hardin County and Kentucky state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 25-38% of Radcliff students were proficient in reading and math, compared to 43-54% for the state. The school also has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20-28% in recent years, much higher than the state average. Additionally, Radcliff has a very high percentage of students (around 70%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population.

Despite being located in the same district, Heartland Elementary and Vine Grove Elementary are ranked in the top 50% of Kentucky elementary schools, while Radcliff Elementary has seen its ranking and performance steadily decline over the past 10 years, going from a 1-star to 0-star rating and dropping over 100 places in the state rankings. This suggests a lack of effective intervention and support from the district and state to address the school's persistent challenges.
