Summary

East Calloway Elementary School in Murray, Kentucky, serves 310 students in grades K–5 in Calloway County, whose district ranks 17th of 158 in Kentucky on SchoolDigger. The clearest takeaway is that achievement varies sharply by subject: fifth-grade Writing is a standout, while fourth-grade Mathematics and fifth-grade Social Studies are notable weaknesses.

Writing is the school’s strongest comparison: its 77% fifth-grade result was 42 percentage points above the state, 25 above the district, and 30 above the nearby-school average. Fifth-grade Editing and Mechanics was also strong, at 74%—26 points above the state and 14 above nearby schools’ average. In contrast, fifth-grade Social Studies was 30%, 20 points below the district and 21 below nearby schools’ average. Fourth-grade Mathematics was 34%, 9 points below the state and 25 below the nearby average; it was also below every nearby school with a reported result. Attendance is a bright spot: chronic absenteeism was 7% in 2025–2026, compared with 15% in the district and 24% statewide. Only Farmington Elementary School had a lower rate among the nearby schools with reported figures.

Results over time reinforce the subject-by-subject picture: fifth-grade Writing rose from 44% in 2022–2023 to 77% in 2025–2026, while Social Studies fell from 50% to 30%; third-grade Mathematics improved, but fifth-grade Mathematics declined. SchoolDigger ranks East Calloway 248th of 684 Kentucky elementary schools, at the 64th percentile and 3 stars for 2025–2026. Its student-teacher ratio is 14.3:1 (2024–2025), and 66% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s Male Students percentile rose from 45 in 2023–2024 to 75 in 2024–2025, then eased to 67, indicating a notable rise in the group’s relative standing over that period.
