Summary

Longbranch Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Union, Kentucky, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 933 students. 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.

Longbranch Elementary consistently outperforms the Boone County and Kentucky state averages in academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Longbranch had 74% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 58% for Boone County and 43% for the state. The school also ranks among the top 10 in Kentucky for Hispanic students and multi-racial students in recent years, indicating strong support and outcomes for these populations. While Longbranch has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism, it still performs better than the state average.

Longbranch Elementary outperforms many of the nearby schools in the Boone County district, such as Florence Elementary, Hillard Collins Elementary, and A.M. Yealey Elementary, in both academic proficiency and student subgroup performance. However, the school's performance for special education students has declined in recent years, ranking in the bottom 20% of Kentucky elementary schools in this subgroup, an area the school should address to ensure equitable outcomes for all students.
