Best Public Schools in Wooton, KY

Summary:

The city of Wooton, Kentucky is home to a single standout public school, W B Muncy Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 238 students. The school is part of the Leslie County School District, which is ranked 11th out of 159 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

W B Muncy Elementary School is a high-performing institution, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in Kentucky. The school has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and placed 36th out of 685 Kentucky elementary schools in the 2023-2024 school year. Its test scores generally exceed the county and state averages, particularly in mathematics and reading, with standout performance in 7th grade mathematics and reading, 5th grade reading, and 6th grade mathematics. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 17.6 may contribute to its strong academic outcomes.

Despite the school's academic excellence, it serves a population with significant economic challenges, as 57.56% of its students receive free or reduced-price lunch. However, the school's above-average spending per student of $13,352 in the 2018-2019 school year suggests that the district is allocating significant resources to support the school and its students. While the school is performing well overall, there are a few areas, such as 8th grade writing and 4th grade science, where its scores are closer to or below the county and state averages, presenting opportunities for further improvement.
