Summary:
Argillite, Kentucky, has one listed school, Argillite Elementary School, serving prekindergarten through grade 5 in the Greenup County district. With no other listed local schools, families can compare the school with state and district results, but not with local peers. The most important finding is that all eight reported 2025–2026 subject-and-grade scores were below Kentucky’s results; grade 3 math and grade 5 writing were suppressed, so their school scores are unknown.
There is no within-city top or bottom school to identify. The school’s closest reported results to the state were grade 5 Social Studies, at 33% versus 38% (5 points below), and Editing and Mechanics, at 41% versus 48% (7 points below). Its largest gaps were grade 4 math, at 16% versus 43% (27 points below), and grade 5 reading, at 30% versus 51% (21 points below). Results also varied against the district: the school was 13 points higher in grade 3 reading and 7 points higher in grade 5 Social Studies, but 7 points lower in grade 5 reading.
Results improved overall on the seven subject-and-grade comparisons available for both years, but progress was uneven: the average gap to the state narrowed by 5 points, from 18 points to 13 points below. Grade 3 and 4 reading rose by 20 and 13 points, while grade 5 reading fell by 2; grade 4 math fell by 8 points. SchoolDigger ranked the school 553rd of 684 schools statewide (19th percentile, 1 star) in 2025–2026, up from 620th of 685 (9th percentile, 0 stars) in 2024–2025. In 2024–2025, enrollment was 216 and the student–teacher ratio was 12.5:1; 70% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Chronic absenteeism in 2025–2026 was 17%, below the district’s 27% and the state’s 24%—a useful point of context, not an explanation for academic results.
