Summary:

Floyd County has 14 schools: eight elementary schools, one middle school, four high schools and one alternative school, serving students from elementary through high school. The 2025–26 results show wide differences among schools, even within the same grade and subject. The clearest broad academic standout is May Valley Elementary School: it scored above the state in all 20 reported grade-level subject results, and SchoolDigger ranked it at the 71st statewide percentile, the highest elementary-school ranking in this group.

Other schools stand out in particular subjects, rather than across the board. Duff-Allen Central Elementary led seventh-grade math at 62% and eighth-grade writing at 67%; those results were 42 and 27 percentage points above the lowest reported scores in those grades. The contrast is especially sharp in eighth-grade reading: May Valley scored 52%, while Allen Elementary scored 13%. Among high schools, Floyd Central High School led tenth-grade reading with 68%, 19 points above the state, while Prestonsburg High School led eleventh-grade writing at 65%. Math was a shared high-school weakness: the three-school average was 30%, compared with 40% statewide, and Prestonsburg High scored 22%.

Results moved closer to state averages overall, but school-level trends differ. For the comparable elementary grade 3–5 results, the math gap narrowed from 10 points below the state in 2024–25 to 8 points below in 2025–26; the reading gap narrowed from 6 points below to 3. High-school averages improved relative to the state in all six reported subjects. Betsy Layne High School improved in all six subjects between those years, including a 12-point gain in editing and mechanics; SchoolDigger’s ranking also rose from the 23rd to the 44th percentile from 2023–24 to 2025–26. As context, May Valley reported 72% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25, compared with 78% at Prestonsburg Elementary; these figures describe student circumstances, not the cause of school results.
