Summary

Longest Elementary is a public elementary school in Greenville, Kentucky, serving 369 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Muhlenberg County School District, which is ranked 126 out of 157 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Longest Elementary faces significant challenges compared to the state and nearby schools. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.6% to 29.2%, which is much higher than the state average. Student performance on the Kentucky State Assessments (KSA) is also consistently below the Muhlenberg County and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in Mathematics ranged from 23% to 33%, compared to 29% to 44% for Muhlenberg County and 43% for the state. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as female students, male students, white students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students, is also consistently lower than the state averages for those subgroups.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Bremen Elementary, Muhlenberg South Elementary, and Greenville Elementary, generally perform better than Longest Elementary on various metrics, including student performance, chronic absenteeism, and subgroup performance. Longest Elementary's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranging from 64.06% to 67.38% over the past few years, may be a contributing factor to the school's lower performance, though the school's overall spending per student is lower than some of the higher-performing nearby schools.
