Summary

Summit Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Ashland, Kentucky, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 444 students. The school is part of the Boyd County School District, which is ranked 90 out of 157 districts in Kentucky and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Summit Elementary School faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, student engagement, and resource allocation. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25% to 30.2%, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Cannonsburg Elementary (25%) and the Boyd County Early Childhood Academy (25%). Additionally, the school's test scores are generally below the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels, with its 3rd-grade math proficiency rate at 23% in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 43% and the Boyd County average of 41%.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $24,520 in 2023-2024, which is significantly higher than the state average and the spending of nearby schools like Russell Primary ($16,060), Summit Elementary School has a higher student-teacher ratio (11.7) compared to some nearby schools, such as Cannonsburg Elementary (8.0) and Fairview Elementary (11.0). This may suggest that the school is not effectively utilizing its resources to support student learning, particularly for students from disadvantaged backgrounds, who make up over 56% of the student population.
