Summary:

The city of Springfield, Kentucky is home to a single elementary school, Washington County Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance has been declining in recent years, dropping from a rank of 349 out of 687 Kentucky elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 380 out of 685 in 2023-2024, and further to 449 out of 685 in the 2024-2025 school year, earning it a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Washington County Elementary School faces several challenges, including academic proficiency rates that are generally below the state and Washington County averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, the school's 3rd-grade math proficiency rate was 34% in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 43% and the county average of 30%. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 64.99% and a chronic absenteeism rate of 25.0% in the 2024-2025 school year, both of which are concerning metrics that may be impacting the school's overall performance.

Despite the challenges faced by Washington County Elementary School, the data suggests that there are opportunities for improvement. By addressing the underlying factors contributing to the school's declining performance, such as low academic proficiency, high socioeconomic challenges, and chronic absenteeism, the school and district may be able to implement targeted interventions and support to better serve the students and community.
