Summary

Cane Ridge Elementary School serves 453 students in grades K–5 in Paris, in Bourbon County. Its academic results vary by subject: in 2025–2026, math proficiency was 21%, 26% and 27% in grades 3–5, compared with nearby averages of about 31%, 36% and 36%; 5th-grade Writing was just 10%. The most important concern is that math trails nearby schools in every tested grade and Writing is especially weak.

Writing is also well below district and state results: 5th-grade proficiency was 10%, versus 16% in the district, 35% statewide and 27% at nearby schools. But results are not weak across the board. Editing and Mechanics was a clear strength at 55%, above the district’s 44%, the state’s 48% and the nearby average of 39%. Fourth-grade Science and 5th-grade Social Studies were also 3 points above the district in each subject. Reading is mixed: 4th grade was 1 point above nearby schools, while 3rd and 5th grades were below. Overall, Cane Ridge’s scores were generally below nearby averages in math and reading, but it outperformed peers in some subjects.

Math has declined across comparable years: the average for grades 3 and 4 fell from 42% in 2022–2023 to 24% in 2025–2026, while the state average stayed around 43%. Writing rose only 3 points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, despite a higher result in between; Editing and Mechanics improved 29 points. SchoolDigger gives Cane Ridge 1 star and ranks it at the 21st percentile statewide in 2025–2026, 6th among 11 nearby schools—around the group’s midpoint. Its student-teacher ratio is 14.3:1, lower than all but two nearby schools. In 2024–2025, 56% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, below the comparable nearby-school average of 65%; this is context, not an explanation for achievement. SchoolDigger ranked Female Students at the 38th percentile in 2025–2026, above the school’s overall 21st percentile. For Special Education Students, its latest ranking was the 12th percentile in 2023–2024, down from the 65th percentile the previous year, suggesting a notable decline in relative results for that group.
