Summary:
The city of Uniontown, Kentucky has only one public school, Uniontown Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school is located within the Union County school district.
Uniontown Elementary School appears to be an underperforming school within the district and the state of Kentucky. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools, with proficiency rates in Mathematics and Reading below the district and state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd grade Mathematics proficiency rate was 32%, compared to the state average of 43%. Similarly, the school's 5th grade Reading proficiency rate was 46%, compared to the state average of 50%.
The school faces some demographic challenges, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (62.75% in 2023-2024) and a chronic absenteeism rate of 25.0% in the 2024-2025 school year. Despite these challenges, the school appears to have a higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to state averages, suggesting a need for more targeted interventions and support to improve student learning and achievement.
