Elementary Schools in Oldham County

Summary:

The Oldham County school district in Kentucky is home to 10 high-performing elementary schools that serve students from preschool through 5th grade. The district is known for its strong academic standards, with several schools consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the state. Buckner Elementary School and Kenwood Station Elementary School are standouts, ranking 25th and 26th out of 685 Kentucky elementary schools respectively in recent years.

The top-performing schools in Oldham County, such as Goshen At Hillcrest Elementary School, have excellent test scores, with 55-80% of students proficient or better in math and 59-81% in reading. These high-achieving schools also tend to have lower rates of free and reduced-price lunch, suggesting a correlation between socioeconomic factors and academic performance. However, the district as a whole appears to be doing well, with all 10 schools rated 4 or 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

While the Oldham County school district is generally strong, there are some areas for improvement. Chronic absenteeism rates are high across all schools, ranging from 25.0% in 2024-2025, which likely contributes to lower performance at certain schools. Additionally, spending per student does not always translate to higher test scores, as evidenced by LaGrange Elementary School, which has the highest spending but some of the lowest test scores in the district.
