The school is part of the Harlan County school district, which is ranked 52 out of 157 districts in Kentucky and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Wallins Elementary School faces several challenges, including consistently lower math proficiency rates compared to the Harlan County and Kentucky averages across all grade levels. The school's reading performance is mixed, with some grades performing better than the district and state, while others perform worse. Additionally, the school's science, writing, social studies, and editing/mechanics proficiency rates are generally lower than the district and state averages. These academic struggles may be exacerbated by the school's high poverty levels, with 83.29% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and resource constraints, as the school spends $21,698 per student, which is below the state average.
Another area of concern is Wallins Elementary School's high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.0%, which may contribute to the lower academic performance and could be an important target for intervention. Overall, the data suggests that Wallins Elementary School faces significant challenges in supporting student learning and achievement, and addressing these issues may require a comprehensive approach involving targeted instructional support, attendance initiatives, and additional funding or resources to support the school and its students.
