Summary

Hazelwood Elementary is a public elementary school in Louisville, Kentucky, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 520 students. 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.

Hazelwood Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools, with a 0 or 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in 3rd and 5th grade reading, as well as science, social studies, and writing. Hazelwood also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25-38% over the past few years.

While the nearby schools in the Jefferson County district, such as Cane Run Elementary, Mill Creek Elementary, and Frayser Elementary, also perform poorly, some schools like Schaffner Traditional Elementary and Kenwood Elementary within the same district perform significantly better. Addressing the challenges at Hazelwood and other low-performing schools in the district will require targeted interventions and support to meet the unique needs of their student populations.
