Summary

Old Mill Elementary School is a public elementary school in Mount Washington, Kentucky, serving 562 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Bullitt County School District, which is ranked 124 out of 157 districts in the state.

Old Mill Elementary consistently outperforms the Bullitt County and Kentucky state averages in academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd-grade mathematics proficiency rate was 49%, compared to 35% for Bullitt County and 43% for the state. Old Mill's reading proficiency is particularly strong, with 59% of 3rd-graders meeting proficiency standards, compared to 40% for Bullitt County and 47% for the state. However, the school struggles with its low socioeconomic status (SES) students, ranking 438th out of 672 Kentucky elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year.

Compared to nearby schools, Freedom Elementary and Crossroads Elementary, Old Mill Elementary outperforms them in academic proficiency. But the school lags behind the higher-performing Pleasant Grove Elementary and Wheeler Elementary, which are also within the Bullitt County district. The school's rising chronic absenteeism rate, which increased from 9.6% in 2021-2022 to 25.0% in 2024-2025, could be a contributing factor to its performance, particularly for its low SES student population.
