Summary

Frayser Elementary is a public elementary school in Louisville, Kentucky, serving 354 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.

Frayser Elementary consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Kentucky, with rankings between 621 and 695 out of around 700 schools over the past several years. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Frayser Elementary has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 75-90% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and the school also has a high percentage of minority students. Additionally, Frayser Elementary has consistently high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 25% to 38% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

When compared to the nearby schools in the same district, Frayser Elementary generally performs worse academically, has higher rates of chronic absenteeism, and serves a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students. This suggests that the challenges faced by Frayser Elementary may be more systemic within the district or the local community. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach that addresses both school-level and community-level factors, in collaboration with the district and community stakeholders.
