Summary

Jones Park Elementary serves 312 students in grades PK–5 in Liberty, Kentucky. Its latest results point to a broad academic concern: in 2025–2026, every reported subject average was below the district, state, and nearby-school averages, and SchoolDigger placed the school at the 9th percentile statewide with 0 stars.

The gap is especially clear in social studies: the grade 5 result was 16%, compared with 31% in Casey County, 38% statewide, and a 44% nearby-school average. Across grades 3–5, mathematics averaged 27% at Jones Park versus 38% in the district, 43% in the state, and 47% nearby; reading averaged 32%, versus 43%, 50%, and 56%, respectively. Attendance is a relative bright spot: chronic absenteeism was 15% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 22% and the state’s 24%. Jones Park’s 2025–2026 writing result is suppressed, so it cannot be compared.

Results have weakened over time, with a particularly sharp drop in the latest year: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, grade 5 reading fell 38 points, mathematics fell 32 points, and social studies and editing and mechanics each fell 37 points. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking fell from the 56th percentile and 3 stars in 2024–2025 to the 9th percentile and 0 stars in 2025–2026. Its ranking for “Low Socio Economic Status Students,” a measure of how the school is doing for that group, dropped from the 76th percentile to the 4th; the ranking for “Special Education Students” fell from the 38th to the 11th percentile. Meanwhile, the school’s 13.9 student-teacher ratio was close to the nearby average of 13.6. In 2024–2025, 78% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch, near the nearby-school average of 75%.
