Summary

Hiseville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 319 students in grades PK-6 in Glasgow, Kentucky. Part of the Barren County School District, Hiseville Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state averages in mathematics and reading proficiency. In fact, 74% of 6th graders at Hiseville were proficient or better in mathematics in 2024-2025, compared to just 56% in Barren County and 41% statewide.

Hiseville Elementary also stands out for its strong performance with special education students, ranking in the top 25% of Kentucky elementary schools for this subgroup in recent years. However, the school has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism, reaching 25% in 2024-2025, though this is still lower than the 28% rate in the previous year. To address this issue, the school is working to improve attendance. Interestingly, many neighboring schools in the Barren County district, such as Austin Tracy Elementary and Park City Elementary, perform significantly worse on test scores and other metrics, suggesting Hiseville may be an outlier within the district.

Despite the school's high performance, it faces challenges common to many high-poverty areas, with around 72% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years. This socioeconomic factor likely contributes to the chronic absenteeism and test score challenges seen at some nearby schools. However, Hiseville Elementary has maintained a strong performance over the past 10 years, consistently ranking in the top half of Kentucky elementary schools and earning 3-4 stars from SchoolDigger. With continued focus on attendance and equity, the school is well-positioned to sustain and improve its success.
