Summary

Crums Lane Elementary is a public elementary school in Louisville, Kentucky, serving 426 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.

Crums Lane Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade. The school underperforms compared to the district and state averages in standardized test scores, with only 12-25% of students proficient or better in reading and math, compared to 34-50% at the state level. Crums Lane also has high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 25% to 38.5%, significantly higher than the state and district averages.

While Crums Lane Elementary performs similarly to other high-poverty, low-performing schools in the area, such as Cane Run Elementary and Jacob Elementary, it lags significantly behind the nearby magnet schools, such as Schaffner Traditional Elementary and Carter Traditional Elementary, which have higher academic achievement and lower rates of poverty and chronic absenteeism. The persistent struggles and lack of improvement at Crums Lane Elementary suggest the need for a comprehensive, targeted approach to address the underlying issues and provide equitable educational opportunities for all students.
