Summary

Eastern Elementary School enrolls 347 students in PK–6 in Glasgow, in the Barren County area of Kentucky. Its results vary considerably by subject and grade, so an overall ranking does not tell the whole story. The most important concern is reading: the school’s 2025–2026 average was below the state, district, and nearby Barren County school averages, with especially low results in grades 3 and 4.

Math and writing are the school’s strongest comparisons with the state and district, while reading and Editing and Mechanics are weaker. Across grades 3–6, math averaged 53%, compared with 43% statewide, 46% in the district, and 47% at nearby Barren County schools. Grade-level results varied sharply: grade 3 math was 29%, while grade 4 was 67%; grade 6 math was 64%. Reading averaged 45%, versus 51% statewide, 54% in the district, and 57% among nearby Barren County schools. Grade 3 reading was 27%, compared with 49% statewide. Grade 5 writing was a relative strength at 48%, 13 points above the state and 9 points above the district. Editing and Mechanics was 40%, 12 points below the nearby-school average.

Reading has weakened over time: its four-grade average fell 5 points from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026, while the state average rose from 48% to 51%. Math moved the other way: Eastern’s advantage over the state across grades 4–6 grew from 9 points in 2022–2023 to 18 points in 2025–2026. SchoolDigger gives the school 3 stars and a 50th-percentile statewide ranking for 2025–2026, near the middle among nearby schools; it ranked fifth among the six schools in the Barren County district. Its student–teacher ratio was 14.7 in 2024–2025, and 56.8% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year—the lowest rate among those six schools. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings indicate stronger relative performance for Special Education Students, at the 73rd percentile in 2024–2025 versus 48th overall, and weaker relative performance for Male Students, at the 32nd percentile in 2025–2026 versus 50th overall.
