While the district is ranked 26 out of 157 in the state and has a 4-star rating, Kimper Elementary's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 201 and 449 out of 685-687 Kentucky elementary schools over the past three years and a current 2-star rating.
Kimper Elementary has a relatively low dropout rate of 1.1%, but a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25%. Its academic performance is mixed, with some areas of strength, such as 8th-grade reading and writing proficiency, but also weaknesses, like 4th-grade reading and science proficiency. The school's high rate of free/reduced lunch recipients, at 93.16%, suggests a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may contribute to the academic challenges.
Despite these challenges, Kimper Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.6, indicating a high level of staffing resources that could be leveraged to improve student outcomes. Overall, the data suggests that Kimper Elementary School is facing some difficulties, but also has potential strengths that could be built upon with targeted interventions and support from the Pike County School District.
