Summary

Beaver Creek Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Topmost, Kentucky, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 182 students. The school is part of the Knott County School District, which is ranked 63 out of 157 districts in Kentucky and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Beaver Creek Elementary School consistently performs below the Knott County and Kentucky state averages in proficiency rates for mathematics, reading, science, and social studies across all grade levels. The school also struggles with significant achievement gaps for certain student subgroups, such as male students, white students, special education students, and homeless students, who perform poorly compared to their peers across the state. Additionally, Beaver Creek Elementary has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25% to over 58% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the Knott County and state averages.

When comparing Beaver Creek Elementary School to other schools in the Knott County district, it becomes clear that the school is underperforming compared to its peers. For example, Carr Creek Elementary and Jones Fork Elementary consistently outperform Beaver Creek in academic proficiency rates and have higher rankings from SchoolDigger. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average per-student spending suggest that Beaver Creek Elementary may be facing challenges in terms of staffing and resources, which could be impacting its ability to effectively support student learning.
