Summary

Taylorsville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 655 students in grades PK-5 in Taylorsville, Kentucky, which is part of the Spencer County School District. While the district is ranked 45 out of 157 in the state and has a 4-star rating, Taylorsville Elementary has faced several challenges in recent years.

One key issue is the school's high chronic absenteeism rates, which have ranged from 15% to 28% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average and the rates at nearby Spencer County Elementary School. Taylorsville Elementary's test scores are also generally below the Spencer County and state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with 3rd-5th grade math proficiency rates ranging from 44-46% compared to 52-60% for Spencer County and 43% for the state. Additionally, the school's rankings for certain student subgroups, such as white students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students, are significantly lower than its overall ranking.

While Taylorsville Elementary's per-student spending has fluctuated between $11,891 and $13,944 over the past few years, which is generally higher than the state average, it is lower than some nearby schools like Bloomfield Elementary ($19,910 per student). The school's performance also lags behind that of Spencer County Elementary, which consistently outperforms Taylorsville Elementary on test scores, chronic absenteeism, and overall school rankings. To address these challenges, Taylorsville Elementary could benefit from focusing on strategies to improve student attendance, strengthen academic interventions for struggling students, and provide additional support for underperforming student subgroups.
