Best Public Schools in Coxs Creek, KY

Summary:

The city of Coxs Creek, Kentucky has only one public school, Coxs Creek Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance is mixed, with some grades performing above the Nelson County district and state averages, while others lag behind.

Coxs Creek Elementary School has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, placing it in the bottom half of elementary schools in Kentucky. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments (KSA) range from 22% in 5th grade Writing to 56% in 4th grade Reading. While the school's performance has been relatively consistent over the past few years, its chronic absenteeism rate of 25% in 2024-2025 is higher than the state average, which could be a contributing factor to its academic performance.

Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $15,770 in 2023-2024, which is above the state average, its academic performance is still below the state average in many areas. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and the factors that may be contributing to its underperformance. Further analysis and investigation may be needed to identify the root causes of the school's challenges and develop targeted interventions to address them.
