Hayes Lewis Elementary School has seen fluctuating performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 130 out of 687 Kentucky elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 331 out of 685 in 2024-2025. The school's academic results are mixed, with some strong areas like 8th grade mathematics at 75% proficient, but also significant weaknesses such as 8th grade reading at only 31% proficient. Additionally, the school faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.0% and a large population of students (58.02%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating socioeconomic challenges.
Despite the district's strong overall ranking, Hayes Lewis Elementary School's performance has been inconsistent.

Addressing the chronic absenteeism and socioeconomic factors impacting the student population may be key focus areas for the school and district to improve educational outcomes.
