Summary

Inez Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Inez, Kentucky, with 240 students. The school is part of the Martin County School District, which is ranked 111 out of 157 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Inez Elementary School faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 25% to 47.4% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools like Warfield Elementary (25%) and Eden Elementary (25%). The school's test scores are also generally lower than the state and county averages across various subjects and grade levels, with only 38% of 3rd graders proficient or better in Math and Reading, compared to 43% and 47% statewide, respectively.

While Inez Elementary School has seen a steady increase in spending per student, from $16,860 in 2020-2021 to $21,176 in 2023-2024, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio ranging from 13.3 to 14.4 over the past few years. However, the school's performance on student group metrics is mixed, ranking relatively well for disabled students but struggling with other subgroups like white students and special education students. Nearby schools in other districts, such as Highland Elementary and Porter Elementary in Johnson County, have significantly higher test scores, rankings, and ratings, indicating that the challenges faced by Inez Elementary may be specific to the school or district.
