Summary:
Sweeden, Kentucky, has one listed school, Kyrock Elementary School, serving prekindergarten through grade 4, with 334 students, in Edmonson County. The latest reported proficiency results cover grades 3 and 4 in math and reading; grade 4 science is also listed, but its result is suppressed. Most importantly, Kyrock was above the state in all four reported math and reading comparisons in 2025–2026.
Since it is the only school on the list, Kyrock is both the area’s highest- and lowest-listed school, though that is not a meaningful school-to-school ranking. Within its results, grade 3 math and reading were strongest at 65% proficient, while grade 4 reading was lowest at 57%. Compared with the state, Kyrock led by 22 percentage points in grade 3 math, 20 in grade 4 math, 16 in grade 3 reading, and 7 in grade 4 reading. Grade 4 reading is the main relative weak spot: it was 3 points below the district’s 60%, even as the other three results were above district figures.
Results declined from the previous year, particularly in reading: Kyrock’s average across the four reported results fell from 71% in 2024–2025 to 63% in 2025–2026, and its advantage over the state narrowed from 25 points to 16. Grade 3 reading had the largest single-year drop, falling 15 points, from 80% to 65%; grade 4 math changed least, down 3 points. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking also slipped—from 8th of 685 schools (99th percentile) in 2023–2024 to 85th of 684 (88th percentile) in 2025–2026—though it remains high. Other context: the student-teacher ratio was 14.3 in 2024–2025, and 70% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Chronic absenteeism was 32% in 2025–2026, compared with 28% in the district and 24% statewide. Because only one school is listed, the data cannot support school-to-school comparisons.
