Summary:

The city of Topmost, Kentucky has only one school, Beaver Creek Elementary School, which serves grades K-8 and has a total enrollment of 182 students. The school is part of the Knott County school district, which is ranked 63 out of 157 districts in Kentucky and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Beaver Creek Elementary School's academic performance has been declining in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 606 out of 684 Kentucky elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 654 out of 687 in 2022-2023, and 537 out of 685 in 2024-2025. The school's performance on state assessments (KSA) is generally below the Knott County and Kentucky averages across various grade levels and subject areas, including mathematics, reading, science, and social studies. For example, in 8th grade mathematics, only 25% of Beaver Creek Elementary School students were proficient or better, compared to 40% for both Knott County and the state of Kentucky.

Additionally, Beaver Creek Elementary School faces challenges with high rates of poverty and chronic absenteeism. The school has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 84.62% for the 2023-2024 school year, and a chronic absenteeism rate of 25.0% for the 2024-2025 school year. Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $16,635 for the 2023-2024 school year, the school's academic performance suggests that these resources may not be effectively translating into improved student outcomes.
