Summary

A M Yealey Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Florence, Kentucky, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 576. The school is part of the Boone County School District, which is ranked 40 out of 157 districts in Kentucky and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While A M Yealey Elementary School faces some challenges, there are also some bright spots. The school's test scores are generally lower than the Boone County and Kentucky state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 55% compared to 55% for Boone County and 43% for the state, and the 5th grade reading proficiency rate was 48% compared to 61% for Boone County and 50% for the state. Additionally, the school has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 8.9% to 28.0% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state's average of around 15%.

However, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. For instance, African American students and multi-racial students perform relatively well, ranking in the top half of Kentucky elementary schools in their respective categories. In contrast, Hispanic students and English Language Learner students perform poorly, ranking in the bottom half or bottom quarter of Kentucky elementary schools. Compared to nearby schools in the Boone County district, such as Longbranch Elementary School, A M Yealey Elementary School generally performs worse on test scores and has higher chronic absenteeism rates. However, the school performs better than some schools in the Erlanger-Elsmere Independent district, such as Howell Elementary School, which has significantly lower test scores and higher free/reduced lunch rates.

I hate that my kids went to Yealey! They make little to no effort to help your child make friends when they first move to the school. My Kindergartener was suppose to walk to her classroom alone by the third day of school. They didnt know that my kindergartener wasnt in her classroom and they have found her roaming the halls after she had been there for 30 mins. I want to make sure my kids enter the school in the morning expecially on a day where there is ice on the pathway. A lady told me I needed to go that I couldnt do that. All they care about is the test scores so they can still be ranked high. Also...Kentucky laws in general are crazy... an absent and a tardy are counted excatly the same. It doesnt matter if your child is only one min late, it counts the same as if they were not there that day. I hate this school and I can not wait for the summer when we move out of this district.
