Summary

New Haven Elementary School serves 716 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade in Union, in Boone County. Its 2025–26 test results are strong across all six tested subjects, and chronic absenteeism is the lowest among the nearby schools listed, at 5% compared with 14% in the district and 24% statewide. The most important finding is that New Haven’s academic strength is broad: its average results exceeded state, district, and nearby-school averages in every tested subject.

Mathematics and fourth-grade science stand out most. New Haven averaged 76% in math, compared with 43% statewide, 54% in the district, and 47% at nearby schools; in fourth-grade science, its 70% was above the state’s 40%, the district’s 45%, and the nearby average of 43%. Writing is a relative weakness: its 54% was still higher than the district’s 42% and nearby schools’ 41%, but its lead was smaller than in other subjects. Fifth-grade math is also less exceptional than New Haven’s earlier grades: its 67% was below Shirley Mann Elementary School (77%), Erpenbeck Elementary School (72%), and Longbranch Elementary School (69%), though it remained above the nearby average of 49%.

Some results merit attention despite the strong overall picture: fifth-grade writing fell to 54% from 72% in each of the prior two years, and social studies declined from 72% in 2022–23 to 60% in 2025–26. SchoolDigger ranks New Haven 26th of 684 Kentucky schools, at the 96th percentile with five stars; it remains at or above the 96th percentile for five years, though below its 99th-percentile peak in 2023–24. In 2024–25, the student-teacher ratio was 16.2, versus 14.4 at nearby schools, and 27% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a nearby-school average of 47%. SchoolDigger’s Special Education Students ranking rose to the 73rd percentile in 2025–26 from the 31st in 2023–24, still below the school’s overall standing; its Hispanic Students ranking was at the 99th percentile, up from the 41st in 2018–19.

Open Quote My children have attended New Haven for 4 years now and we love it. We cannot say enough about the caring staff, from administration to teachers, and even custodians. New Haven has a real family feel. As parents we feel welcomed to stop by school when we need to, attend lunch with our kids at any time, or become involved as volunteers. Our children are thriving, and the education in special subjects like Technology, Music, or Drama is fantastic. Close Quote
