Class loads run heavy: 38:1 is larger than about 99% of Kentucky schools and 150% above the 15.2:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
Economic need is high: 100.0% of students qualify for free meals, 69% above the Kentucky average, a Title I-weighted population that federal funding formulas prioritise.
This is a small campus: fewer students than 91% of Kentucky schools, with 38 enrolled.
Its Resource Investment Index lands in the lower third of 1,389 scored Kentucky schools.
Among 22 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need Kentucky schools statewide, it ranks #20, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
