Summary:
The Grayson County elementary school district in Kentucky consists of 4 schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. Based on the available data, Clarkson Elementary School stands out as the top performer in the district, consistently ranking in the top 25% of Kentucky elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, H W Wilkey Elementary School appears to be the weakest performer, ranking in the bottom half of Kentucky schools with only a 1-2 star rating.
Clarkson Elementary boasts strong academic performance, with students scoring above the Grayson County and Kentucky averages in math, reading, and other subjects. The school also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate compared to the other elementary schools in the district. In contrast, H W Wilkey struggles academically, with students scoring well below the county and state averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas.
While all 4 Grayson County elementary schools face high chronic absenteeism rates of 25%, the data suggests a correlation between economic disadvantage and lower academic performance. The schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates, H W Wilkey and Caneyville Elementary, also tend to have the weakest results. Addressing attendance issues and providing targeted support for economically disadvantaged students could help close these achievement gaps across the district.
