Elementary Schools in Madison County

Summary:

The 11 elementary schools located in Madison County, Kentucky serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The schools are part of the highly-ranked Madison County school district, which has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. While the schools share a district, their academic performance varies significantly, with some standout performers and others struggling to meet state averages.

Boonesborough Elementary and Shannon Johnson Elementary are the top-performing schools, ranking in the top 30% of Kentucky elementary schools and earning 4-star ratings. These schools excel in subjects like 3rd grade math and reading, as well as 5th grade writing. In contrast, Silver Creek Elementary has notably low math proficiency rates across grade levels.

The data also reveals a correlation between socioeconomic status, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, and academic achievement. Schools with lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Boonesborough and Shannon Johnson, tend to have higher proficiency rates. This suggests that factors beyond just district-level policies and resources play a significant role in student outcomes across these Madison County elementary schools.
