Summary

Medora Elementary is a public elementary school in Louisville, Kentucky, serving 454 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Jefferson County school district, which is ranked 140 out of 157 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Medora Elementary has had a fluctuating performance over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 283 out of 698 Kentucky elementary schools in 2014-2015 (3-star rating) to 504 out of 687 in 2022-2023 (1-star rating). The school's performance has been particularly low in recent years, with 1-star ratings for the 2020-2021, 2021-2022, and 2022-2023 school years. This is largely due to the school's consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 24.5% to 38.1% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, Medora Elementary's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in various subjects, is generally below the state and district averages.

Interestingly, Medora Elementary's performance is generally lower than that of the nearby Eisenhower Elementary, located just a few miles away, which outperforms Medora in most academic subjects and has a higher statewide ranking. This suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement at Medora Elementary through targeted interventions and support, such as addressing the specific needs of the school's student population or implementing attendance-boosting initiatives.
