Summary:
Yeaddiss, Kentucky, has one listed public school, Hayes Lewis Elementary School, serving prekindergarten through grade 8 with 125 students; it is part of Leslie County. The clearest takeaway for families is a mixed academic picture: the school’s strongest reported results are in middle-grade mathematics, while several other tested subjects fall below state results.
In 2025–2026, grades 7 and 8 mathematics were the school’s standout results: 57% of grade 7 students were proficient, 18 percentage points above Kentucky and 5 above the district; grade 8 reached 58%, 19 points above the state and 8 above the district. The weakest reported results were grade 4 science and grade 8 editing and mechanics, both 25%. Those results were respectively 15 and 17 points below the state, and 31 and 12 below the district. Because this is the only listed school in Yeaddiss, there is no other local school to compare against.
Results shifted in different directions across subjects, rather than showing a broad rise or fall: across nine subject-and-grade results available in both years, the school average fell by about 2 points, while the state average also fell by about 2. For example, grade 7 math improved from 50% to 57%, but grade 3 reading fell from 61% to 39%. SchoolDigger’s ranking also declined, from 130th of 687 schools, the 81st percentile and four stars in 2022–2023, to 510th of 684, the 25th percentile and one star in 2025–2026. Other context includes a 12.9 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025 and 60.8% free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Chronic absenteeism was 50% in 2025–2026, compared with 45% in the district and 24% statewide; the school’s dropout rate was 0%, versus 0.3% in the district and 1% statewide. Some grade-level groups may be small, so these figures offer a profile rather than a comparison among Yeaddiss schools.
