Summary

Cane Ridge Elementary School is a public elementary school in Paris, Kentucky, serving 460 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Bourbon County School District, which is ranked 122 out of 157 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cane Ridge Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the Bourbon County and Kentucky state averages in academic measures like mathematics, reading, and other subjects. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school ranked 575 out of 685 Kentucky elementary schools and received a 1-star rating. The school's performance has been declining over the years, and it struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups. Additionally, Cane Ridge Elementary School has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.5% to 29% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, Cane Ridge Elementary School's performance is generally lower than nearby schools in the Bourbon County and surrounding districts, such as North Middletown Elementary School and schools in the Harrison County and Scott County districts. Despite increased spending per student, Cane Ridge Elementary School has not shown significant improvement in its academic performance or school ranking over the past decade, suggesting the need for more comprehensive and targeted interventions to address the root causes of its underperformance.
