Summary

Cedar Grove Elementary is a public elementary school in Shepherdsville, Kentucky, serving 453 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Bullitt County School District, which is ranked 124 out of 157 districts in the state.

Cedar Grove Elementary has consistently performed well academically, ranking in the top half of Kentucky elementary schools over the past 10 years. The school's students score significantly higher than the district and state averages on state assessments, particularly in reading and writing. For example, in 2024-2025, 66% of Cedar Grove's 5th-graders were proficient or better in reading, compared to 41% for Bullitt County and 50% for the state. The school's 5th-grade writing proficiency rate of 59% is also much higher than the district (30%) and state (38%) averages. However, the school's performance for special education and disabled students is a concern, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Kentucky elementary schools.

While Cedar Grove Elementary generally outperforms other Bullitt County elementary schools, some nearby schools, like Pleasant Grove Elementary, have shown even stronger overall academic performance, ranking in the top 10% of Kentucky elementary schools. Additionally, Cedar Grove faces challenges with rising chronic absenteeism, which has increased from 11% in 2021-2022 to 25% in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the state average. Addressing these areas of concern will be crucial for the school's continued success.
