Summary

Country Heights Elementary School is a public elementary school in Owensboro, Kentucky, serving 467 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Daviess County School District. The school has shown a mixed performance, with some academic strengths but also facing challenges in certain areas.

Country Heights Elementary School has outperformed the district and state averages in 5th-grade Mathematics and Reading, but its 3rd-grade students have underperformed in those subjects. The school has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, reaching 25% in the 2024-2025 school year, which is notably higher than the district and state. Interestingly, Tamarack Elementary School, another Daviess County school, has consistently outperformed Country Heights in academic test scores.

Additionally, the school has shown varying performance across different student subgroups, with female and White students generally performing better than their male and non-White counterparts. The school's performance for Special Education and Low Socio-Economic Status students has been below the state average, suggesting a need to examine equity and inclusion practices. Addressing the root causes of high absenteeism and targeting interventions for underperforming subgroups could be important focus areas for Country Heights Elementary School and the Daviess County district.
