Summary

Oneida Elementary School is a public elementary school in Oneida, Kentucky, serving 114 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Clay County School District, which is ranked 28 out of 157 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Oneida Elementary consistently outperforms the state and district averages in mathematics and reading proficiency, with 70% of 3rd graders and 82% of 6th graders scoring proficient or better in math, compared to 43% and 41% statewide, respectively. However, the school's performance in writing, social studies, and editing/mechanics is more mixed. Despite having a high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds (85-88% qualify for free/reduced lunch), Oneida's low-income students rank in the top 20% of Kentucky elementary schools in this subgroup. The school's per-student spending has increased significantly, from $15,615 in 2020-2021 to $68,010 in 2023-2024, though this has not yet translated to improved attendance, as Oneida continues to struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates of 25-41.6%.

Compared to nearby schools, Oneida Elementary generally outperforms Goose Rock Elementary and Hacker Elementary, which are also part of the Clay County School District. However, Burning Springs Elementary and Manchester Elementary, located in neighboring districts, have outperformed Oneida in several academic areas, particularly in reading and writing.
