Summary:
Uniontown, Kentucky, has one listed school, Uniontown Elementary School, serving kindergarten through grade 5 and enrolling 199 students. The clearest concern is mathematics: in 2025–2026, proficiency was 29% in grade 3, 14% in grade 4 and 13% in grade 5, compared with 43% statewide in each grade. The school’s three-grade average was 19%, versus 43% statewide, a 24-point gap. The most important finding is that mathematics results fell well below state results in all three tested grades, especially grades 4 and 5.
There is no separate local top or bottom school to compare, but reading stands out as Uniontown Elementary School’s strongest reported subject relative to the state. Grade 3 reading was 48%, just 1 point below the state’s 49%; grade 4 was 34% versus 50%, and grade 5 was 44% versus 51%. The three-grade reading average was 42%, 8 points below the state average of 50%—a smaller shortfall than in mathematics. Grade 5 results also varied considerably by subject: reading was 44%, compared with 19% in editing and mechanics, 16% in social studies and 13% in mathematics. Science for grade 4 and writing for grade 5 are state-suppressed.
Across seven tests reported in both years, the school’s average fell from 33% in 2024–2025 to 29% in 2025–2026, while the state average rose from 45% to 46%; the average gap widened by 4 points. Reading improved in all three tested grades, while grade 5 mathematics and social studies each fell 13 points. SchoolDigger ranked the school 601st of 684 schools, at the 12th percentile, in 2025–2026, compared with 547th of 685 and the 20th percentile the year before. Chronic absenteeism was 14% in 2025–2026, below the state’s 24% by 9 points. For context, the school’s student-teacher ratio was 12.8 and 62% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; these figures do not explain achievement results.
