What stands out at Corbin Preschool

Corbin Preschool is a higher-need, small combined-grade school in Corbin, Kentucky, enrolling 106 students.

Class loads run heavy: 26.5:1 is larger than about 98% of Kentucky schools and 74% above the 15.2:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.

Its free-meal eligibility rate of 57.4% lands close to the Kentucky typical range, neither a high- nor low-need campus by this measure.

Enrollment of 106 puts it in the smaller third of Kentucky schools by headcount.

Its Resource Investment Index trails 100% of the 1,389 Kentucky schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.

Among 35 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need Kentucky schools statewide, it ranks #34, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.

Its student body is predominantly White (85% of enrollment) (diversity index 27/100).

Its district draws 18.2% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.

Among Corbin's public schools, it stands alongside Oak Grove Elementary School (669 students): Corbin Preschool is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs heavier classes (26.5:1 vs 17.2:1).
