Summary

Rosspoint Elementary School is a public K-8 school in Baxter, Kentucky, serving 369 students as part of the Harlan County School District. While the district is ranked 52 out of 157 in the state, Rosspoint Elementary has demonstrated some notable strengths, particularly in supporting its special education, homeless, and low socioeconomic status (SES) student populations.

Rosspoint Elementary has consistently ranked among the top schools in Kentucky for special education student performance, reaching as high as 6th out of 306 schools in the 2024-2025 school year. The school has also excelled in supporting its homeless student population, ranking 2nd out of 18 Kentucky elementary schools in the 2023-2024 school year. Additionally, Rosspoint has performed well above the district and state averages for low SES students, ranking in the top 25% of Kentucky elementary schools in this category. In terms of academic performance, the school has shown strong mathematics and reading proficiency, with several grade levels exceeding the district and state averages on the Kentucky State Assessments.

However, Rosspoint Elementary's overall statewide ranking has declined from 207th in 2023-2024 to 246th in 2024-2025, indicating a need to address broader academic performance. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25% to over 50% in recent years. While Rosspoint spends more per student and has a lower student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools, it appears that resources are not being effectively utilized to drive academic outcomes. Nearby schools, such as Green Hills Elementary and Cawood Elementary, have outperformed Rosspoint in overall academic achievement and statewide rankings, suggesting opportunities for Rosspoint to learn from their best practices.
