Summary:
The 41348 zip code area has only one public elementary school, Marie Roberts-Caney Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 231 students. The school's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates on state assessments consistently falling well below the Breathitt County and Kentucky state averages across various subjects and grade levels.
Marie Roberts-Caney Elementary School's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, dropping from 462 out of 700 Kentucky elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 658 out of 687 in 2022-2023, with a corresponding drop in its SchoolDigger star rating from 2 to 0. The school serves a predominantly White student population, with a high percentage (76.19%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the school's relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 11.5 and above-average per-student spending of $13,178 for the 2018-2019 school year, the academic underperformance and declining statewide ranking suggest that the school may be struggling to effectively utilize its resources to support student learning and improve educational outcomes. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying issues and provide a high-quality education for the students in this area.
