Summary

Pembroke Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Pembroke, Kentucky, with an enrollment of 653 students. The school is part of the Christian County School District, which is ranked 110 out of 157 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pembroke Elementary's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on the Kentucky State Assessments (KSA), is generally below the state and district averages across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, Pembroke's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 42% compared to the state average of 43% and the district average of 40%. The school's performance is particularly low in science, with only 23% of 4th graders proficient compared to the state average of 37%. However, Pembroke performs relatively well for its African American and Hispanic student subgroups, ranking in the top 30-50 schools in the state for these groups.

Pembroke Elementary has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.9% to 28.0% over the past few years, which is significantly above the state average. The school's spending per student, between $11,125 and $16,455, is higher than the state average but lower than some of the nearby schools in the district, such as Crofton Elementary, Sinking Fork Elementary, and Millbrooke Elementary, which generally outperform Pembroke in academic measures. Despite these challenges, Pembroke's strong performance for its African American and Hispanic students is a bright spot, and with the right interventions and resources, the school could improve outcomes for all its students.
