Summary

Thornwilde Elementary School serves 661 students in prekindergarten through grade 5 in Hebron, part of Boone County. It is one of the strongest-rated nearby schools, though its results have eased from an earlier peak. Most importantly, its latest results are above state and district levels in every tested subject, with particularly strong 5th-grade writing and 4th-grade science.

Writing and science are the school’s clearest strengths compared with nearby schools and the state. In 5th-grade writing, 70% of Thornwilde students were proficient, compared with 35% statewide and a 34% average across nearby schools; in 4th-grade science, the figures were 59%, 40%, and 38%, respectively. Thornwilde also led nearby schools in 4th-grade science, ahead of Longbranch Elementary School at 50%, and in 4th-grade reading, with 68% versus Longbranch’s 65%. Results are also above state and district levels in the other tested subjects. Attendance is a positive: chronic absenteeism was 11% in 2025–26, compared with 14% in Boone County and 24% statewide.

Even with its strong standing, results fell in most subjects from 2024–25 to 2025–26: average math proficiency declined 9 points and reading declined 7, while 5th-grade writing fell 12 points; 4th-grade science rose 8 points. SchoolDigger gave Thornwilde 4 stars and ranked it 86th of 684 schools, at the 87th percentile, in 2025–26; that percentile was down from 95 the previous year, but remained ahead of nearby Longbranch at 83. Context includes a student-teacher ratio of 15.7 in 2024–25 and 35% of students free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s Special Education Students ranking was at the 39th percentile, 48 points below the school’s overall percentile, indicating a notably weaker relative ranking in how well it serves this group. Its Low Socio Economic Status Students ranking was at the 61st percentile, 26 points below overall.
