Summary
Millbrooke Elementary School serves 610 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Hopkinsville, in Christian County. Its latest results place it near the top of nearby schools in SchoolDigger’s overall ranking, but performance varies sharply by grade. Fifth graders did especially well in reading and math, while fourth graders fell behind the state, district and nearby-school averages in both subjects. The most important takeaway is that Millbrooke’s strong fifth-grade results do not reflect an equally strong experience across all grades.
Fifth-grade Editing and Mechanics is Millbrooke’s clearest strength: 67% of students were proficient, compared with 48% statewide, 51% districtwide and a nearby-school average of about 47%. Fifth-grade reading was also strong at 62%, versus 51% statewide and a nearby average of 46%; fifth-grade math was 53%, against 43% statewide and a nearby average of 35%. The contrast is fourth grade: math proficiency was 31% (compared with 43% statewide, 37% districtwide and a nearby average of 45%), and reading was 42% (versus 50%, 47% and a nearby average of 47%). Writing was another relative bright spot at 44%, above the state’s 35% and the nearby average of about 26%. Social Studies was weaker against the state: 34% proficient compared with 38% statewide, though it was above the district’s 31%.
Results have shifted in different directions over time: the three-grade math average fell from 51% in 2022–2023 to 45% in 2025–2026, while reading rose from 47% to 51%; fifth-grade Writing dropped 14 points, but Science rose 12 points and Editing and Mechanics rose 9. SchoolDigger gives Millbrooke a 59th-percentile ranking and three stars (279th of 684), the highest percentile among nearby schools with rank data; its ranking has rebounded from 40 in 2018–2019 but remains below its 76 in 2015–2016. In 2024–2025, the student-teacher ratio was 16:1, above the same-district average of 15.2:1, and 67% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, below the same-district average of 71%. SchoolDigger’s group rankings also differ notably: Hispanic Students ranked at the 96th percentile in 2025–2026, while Special Education Students ranked at the 4th percentile in 2024–2025, compared with the school’s overall 54th percentile that year. These rankings compare how the school serves each group with other schools statewide, not individual students.
