Summary:
ZIP code 66779 has two West Bourbon Elementary (PK–6, 263 students) and Uniontown High School (grades 7–12, 178 students), together serving students from prekindergarten through high school. In the latest all-grades results, the elementary school was above state proficiency in ELA, math and science, while the high school was below state levels in all three. The central takeaway is how sharply results differ, especially in science, where the schools’ proficiency rates were 51 percentage points apart.
West Bourbon Elementary stands out: its 2025–2026 proficiency was 58% in ELA, 61% in math and 75% in science, respectively 12, 20 and 37 percentage points above the state. Uniontown High School was at 40% in ELA, 37% in math and 24% in science—6, 4 and 15 points below state results. Grade-level results reveal exceptions to the high school’s all-grades pattern: 10th-grade math reached 56%, 19 points above the state, while 11th-grade science was 11%, 19 points below.
Recent movement is mixed: the two-school average rose 6 points in math from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, but fell 6 in ELA and 19 in science; its advantage over the state narrowed in ELA and science and widened in math. SchoolDigger’s percentile ranking rose for the high school, from 14 to 54 in the latest year, while the elementary school’s eased from 83 in 2023–2024 to 78. Other measures add context: the elementary school’s reported student–teacher ratio is 14.2, compared with 10 at the high school; free/reduced-lunch rates are 67% and 58%. The high school’s graduation rate was 93% versus 90% statewide, and chronic absenteeism was 17% versus 18%. The schools serve different grade spans, so their all-grades results are not same-grade comparisons.
