Summary

Oneida Elementary School in Oneida, Kentucky, serves prekindergarten through grade 6 and enrolls 110 students—the smallest enrollment among the nearby schools compared. It is in Clay County, a district with a strong SchoolDigger standing. Oneida has some notable grade-level strengths, but its overall standing is below most nearby schools: eight of the 10 rank higher.

Fourth-grade math is Oneida’s clearest strength: 86% of students were proficient in 2025–26, the highest result among nearby schools with scores and well above the state’s 43%, the district’s 71%, and the nearby average of 57%. Results in third-grade math were much weaker at 39%, below the state’s 43%, the district’s 66%, and the nearby average of 59%. Across tested grades, reading averaged 58%, above the state’s 51% but below the district’s 75% and nearby schools’ 66%. Editing and mechanics was a particular weakness: Oneida’s fifth-grade result was 33%, compared with 48% statewide, 80% districtwide, and 69% among nearby schools.

Results have shifted considerably by grade rather than improving uniformly: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, math proficiency rose 16 points in grade 3 and 36 points in grade 4, while fourth-grade reading fell 24 points. SchoolDigger ranks Oneida 253rd of 684 Kentucky schools, at the 63rd percentile and three stars; its overall percentile rose from 25 in 2013–14 to 63, but has dropped six points since its 2023–24 peak. The district ranks 23rd of 158, at the 85th percentile and four stars, and all six nearby schools in the district rank above Oneida. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students is notably higher than the school’s overall ranking: the group is at the 80th percentile, versus 63 overall. In 2024–25, Oneida had a student-teacher ratio of 12.7, close to the nearby average of 13.1, and 77% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, similar to the nearby average of 77%. Chronic absenteeism improved from 51% in 2021–22 to 35% in 2025–26, but remained above the state’s 24% rate. Some current test results are suppressed, so not every subject or grade can be compared.
