Summary

Tamarack Elementary School serves pre-K through grade 5 in Owensboro, Kentucky, and enrolls 564 students. SchoolDigger ranks it 101st of 684 Kentucky schools, at the 85th percentile with four stars, making it the highest-ranked nearby school with a reported ranking. The most important takeaway is that Tamarack’s 2025–26 results were above the state average in every tested subject.

Tamarack’s standout subject is social studies: its average was 65%, 17 points above the Daviess County average and about 25 points above the nearby-school average. Its math score was 62% and reading was 66%, respectively 12 and 10 points above the district; all six subject averages were higher than the nearby-school averages. Writing and Editing and Mechanics are relative weaknesses compared with the district: Tamarack scored 43% in writing, 2 points lower, and 54% in Editing and Mechanics, 3 points lower. Still, both scores were above the state and nearby-school averages.

Results have improved overall in math and social studies since 2022–23, rising about 11 and 14 points, while science, writing, and Editing and Mechanics have declined. Recent results vary by grade: third-grade reading rose 8 points to 76%, while fourth-grade reading fell 19 points to 58%. Tamarack’s SchoolDigger percentile has also eased from 96 in 2023–24 to 85 in 2025–26, though it remains the local leader. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 16.5, and 67% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in the 2024–25 school year—near the nearby-school average. A notable SchoolDigger subgroup result is Asian Students: the measure of how well Tamarack serves this group rose from the 57th percentile in 2022–23 to the 92nd in 2024–25.
