Summary

Flemingsburg Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Flemingsburg, Kentucky, with 594 students enrolled. The school is part of the Fleming County School District, which is ranked 120 out of 157 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Flemingsburg Elementary faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low performance on the Kentucky State Assessments (KSA) across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was just 19% in 2024-2025, compared to 26% for the county and 43% for the state. Flemingsburg Elementary's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as White students, Special Education students, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, who rank in the bottom 25% of Kentucky elementary schools. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past several years, from 193 out of 517 Kentucky elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 580 out of 685 in 2024-2025, placing it in the bottom 15% of elementary schools in the state.

While Flemingsburg Elementary struggles academically, some nearby schools in the same district, such as Hillsboro Elementary and Ewing Elementary, perform better on the KSA assessments and have higher rankings. This suggests that the challenges faced by Flemingsburg Elementary may be specific to the school rather than the broader district. Additionally, the school's high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 18.2% to 28.0% over the past few years, may be a contributing factor to its academic struggles.
