Summary

Catlettsburg Elementary School serves pre-K through grade 5 in Catlettsburg, Kentucky, in the Boyd County area, and enrolls 184 students—the smallest enrollment among the nearby schools listed. Its clearest academic pattern is a sharp contrast between strong fourth-grade results and a major fifth-grade reading weakness.

Fourth-grade reading is a standout: 63% of students were proficient, compared with 50% statewide and 52% districtwide, and it was the highest reported result among nearby schools, whose average was 49%. Fourth-grade science was also strong at 52%, versus 40% statewide, 43% districtwide and a 41% nearby-school average. By contrast, fifth-grade reading proficiency was 30%—21 points below the state, 13 below the district and 12 below the nearby-school average of 42%. The latest fifth-grade math, writing and social studies results are suppressed, so current comparisons for those subjects are unavailable.

The overall picture is improving but uneven. SchoolDigger places the school at the 51st statewide percentile with 3 stars for 2025–26, up from the 26th percentile in each of the prior two years. Its 9.6:1 student-teacher ratio in 2024–25 was the lowest among nearby schools with reported ratios. At the same time, chronic absenteeism rose from 21% in 2023–24 to 33% in 2025–26, above the state’s 24% and the district’s 28%. The school reported 71% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25, the highest rate among the Boyd County schools listed; this is context, not an explanation for test results. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for Low Socio Economic Status Students rose from 22 in 2023–24 to 63 in 2025–26, a notable improvement in the group’s relative standing, compared with an overall school percentile that rose from 26 to 51.
