Summary

Cedar Grove Elementary serves 441 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade in Shepherdsville, in Bullitt County. Its results are mixed: reading and math compare favorably with state and district averages overall, but fifth-grade results are weaker in several subjects. The clearest concern is writing: just 28% of fifth graders were proficient in 2025–2026, down 34 percentage points from 2022–2023 and 7 points below the state.

Reading is a relative strength: proficiency across grades three through five averaged 52%, compared with 50% statewide, 45% in the district, and 44% across available nearby-school results. Cedar Grove’s fifth-grade reading score of 49% ranked second among eight nearby district schools, behind only Pleasant Grove Elementary School. Math averaged 44% across those grades, slightly above the state’s 43% and the nearby-school average of 40%, though fifth-grade math was 39%, below the state and nearby-school averages. Fifth-grade social studies and editing and mechanics were also below state results, despite being above nearby-school averages.

Recent results show a notable decline in some areas: fifth-grade writing fell from 62% to 28%, while social studies dropped from 46% to 33% and editing and mechanics from 63% to 44% between 2022–2023 and 2025–2026. Cedar Grove also fell from the 84th percentile and four stars in SchoolDigger’s 2021–2022 ranking to the 47th percentile and two stars in 2025–2026, though it still ranked third among nearby schools with rankings. SchoolDigger’s 2023–2024 statewide effectiveness ranking placed Special Education Students at the 11th percentile, versus 57th overall—a notable concern about how the school’s results compare for this group. For context, its student-teacher ratio was 16.9 in 2024–2025, and 58% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year; chronic absenteeism was 14% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 23% and state’s 24%.
