Summary

Taylor Elementary School in Brooksville, Kentucky, serves 490 students in prekindergarten through grade 5 in Bracken County. SchoolDigger ranks Bracken County at the 28th percentile with one star; the school ranks 456th of 684 Kentucky elementary schools, at the 33rd percentile with two stars, in 2025–26. The most important takeaway is an uneven academic picture: fourth grade is a standout, while third-grade reading and several fifth-grade subjects are notably weaker.

Fourth grade is the clearest strength compared with the state and nearby schools: math proficiency was 53%, versus 43% statewide and a 37% average for Northern Elementary School, Mason County Intermediate School and Southern Elementary School; reading was 59%, versus 50% statewide and 46% nearby; science was 43%, versus 40% statewide and 34% nearby. The weaker results include third-grade reading at 26%, compared with 49% statewide and 42% nearby, and fifth-grade editing and mechanics at 29%, compared with 48% statewide and 42% nearby. The school’s reported scores match the district’s in every tested grade and subject, a difference of 0 points.

Results over time are mixed: science rose from 24% in 2022–23 to 43% in 2025–26, while writing fell from 61% to 35% and editing and mechanics from 53% to 29%. SchoolDigger’s overall percentile improved from 29 to 33 in the latest year, with its rating moving from one to two stars, but remains below its 43rd-percentile standing in 2022–23. Chronic absenteeism also improved, falling from 22% in 2022–23 to 15% in 2025–26, below the district’s 17% and state’s 24%; only Northern was lower among nearby schools reporting that year, at 14%. The 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 14.4, and 60% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, the second-lowest rate among the five nearby schools with a reported measure. One especially notable SchoolDigger subgroup result is Special Education Students: the school’s percentile rose from 5 in 2023–24 to 68 in 2025–26, compared with 33 overall, indicating a much stronger statewide standing for this group in the latest measure.
