Summary:

The Pulaski County school district in Kentucky is home to 9 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. This district is consistently ranked among the top 12 out of 157 districts in the state and is rated 5 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating strong overall performance.

Within the district, a few schools stand out for their exceptional academic achievement. Oak Hill Elementary School ranks 17th out of 685 elementary schools in the state, with 72-88% of students proficient or better in mathematics and 71-81% in reading. Northern Elementary School also performs exceptionally well, ranking 38th statewide with 67-82% proficiency in math and 65-78% in reading. Additionally, Burnside Elementary School has shown significant improvement, moving from a 4-star to a 5-star rating and ranking 45th in the state.

While the district as a whole is strong, there is some variation in performance across the schools. Some schools, such as Shopville Elementary and Eubank Elementary, struggle in certain subject areas. Additionally, the district faces challenges with a consistently high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.0%, which is higher than the state average. The Pulaski County school district will likely need to focus on addressing these performance gaps and attendance issues to ensure all students in the county have access to a high-quality education.
