Summary

Cumberland County Elementary School in Burkesville, Kentucky, enrolls 501 students in pre-K through grade 5 and is compared with nearby schools in the surrounding area. Its 2025–26 results are mixed, but the clearest concern for families is fifth-grade math: 32% of students were proficient, 11 points below the state rate.

The school is strongest in science and reading compared with state results: fourth-grade science proficiency was 43%, versus 40% statewide, and the school’s average reading proficiency across grades 3–5 was 51%, versus 50% statewide. Its fourth-grade science result was also higher than those reported by nearby Metcalfe County Elementary School (29%) and Albany Elementary School (23%). Math and writing are weaker: the school averaged 39% in math across grades 3–5, compared with 43% statewide, and fifth-grade writing was 26%, compared with 35% statewide. For fifth-grade math, Cumberland County’s 32% was below Metcalfe County’s 41% and Joe Harrison Carter’s 56%. The district’s reported math and writing results match the school’s.

Reading has improved: its average rose about 7 points from 2022–23 to 2025–26, while fourth-grade science gained 9 points. Math, however, was essentially unchanged overall, and fifth-grade math fell 8 points over that period. SchoolDigger ranks the school 384th of 684 Kentucky schools, at the 44th percentile with 2 stars; its percentile rose 11 points from 2024–25 but remains below its 69th-percentile standing in 2021–22. Context measures include a 14.9 student-teacher ratio in 2024–25 and 76% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–25. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for Male Students—a measure of how well the school serves this group—rose from 28 to 52 between 2024–25 and 2025–26, reaching 8 points above the school’s overall percentile. For Low Socio Economic Status Students, the percentile rose from 42 to 57, also above the overall result.
