Summary

Daniel Boone Elementary School is a public elementary school in Richmond, Kentucky, serving 493 students in grades 1-5. The school is part of the Madison County School District, which is ranked 27th out of 157 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Despite the district's strong performance, Daniel Boone Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the county and state averages in academic subjects like Mathematics, Reading, and Science. The school also faces high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.1% to 30.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's performance varies widely across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students performing relatively well but students with disabilities, multi-racial students, and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds struggling.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools in the Madison County district, such as Boonesborough Elementary, Kirksville Elementary, and White Hall Elementary, Daniel Boone Elementary generally underperforms. Despite the school's higher spending per student compared to the state average, its academic outcomes have not shown a corresponding improvement, raising questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources to drive student achievement.
