Summary

Country Heights Elementary School in Owensboro, Daviess County, serves pre-K through grade 5 and enrolls 462 students. Its most important academic pattern is the sharp contrast between strong fifth-grade results and fourth-grade math: fifth-grade math proficiency was 62%, while fourth-grade math was 33%.

Fifth grade stands out against both nearby schools and broader benchmarks: writing proficiency was 72%, compared with a nearby-school average of 37%, and social studies was 68%, versus a nearby average of 42%. Fourth-grade math is a clear weakness: its 33% proficiency was 19 points below the district’s 52%, 10 points below the state’s 43%, and the lowest reported result among nearby schools; fourth-grade reading, at 45%, was also below the nearby average of 53%. Attendance is a relative strength: chronic absenteeism was 13% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 19% and the state’s 24%.

Results have shifted over time: the average math proficiency across grades 3–5 fell 16 points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, while fifth-grade writing rose 31 points, from 41% to 72%. SchoolDigger gives the school 4 stars and a 72nd-percentile statewide ranking for 2025–2026 (193 of 684), up from the 66th percentile in 2023–2024 but 8 points below the district’s 80th percentile. The student-teacher ratio was 16.2 in 2024–2025, and 45% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings show comparatively strong recent statewide standing for Low Socio Economic Status Students: the group’s percentile rose from 56 in 2023–2024 to 79 in 2025–2026, above the school’s overall 72. In contrast, the Special Education Students percentile was 31, 41 points below the overall ranking.
