Summary

Jesse Stuart Elementary School is a public elementary school in Madisonville, Kentucky, serving 477 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Hopkins County School District, which is ranked 71 out of 157 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Jesse Stuart Elementary has shown mixed performance on state assessments compared to the county and state averages, the school stands out for its strong performance for African American and Special Education students, ranking among the top 10-12 schools in Kentucky for these subgroups in recent years. However, the school faces challenges with consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates than the state average, ranging from 19.7% to 28.0% in recent years. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 70.11% to 72.54% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years.

When compared to other nearby schools in the Hopkins County district, Jesse Stuart Elementary generally performs at a similar or slightly lower level on state assessments. However, some schools, such as Hanson Elementary and Pride Elementary, consistently outperform Jesse Stuart Elementary, suggesting there may be opportunities for the school to learn from their successful practices. Despite these challenges, the school's relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $11,954 to $13,385 in recent years, suggests a commitment to supporting the needs of its diverse student population.
