Summary

Millcreek Elementary School serves 529 students in pre-K through grade 5 in Fayette County, Lexington. Its 2025–2026 proficiency averages were below the district, state, and nine nearby schools in every reported subject. The most important finding is that Millcreek’s overall academic results remain low compared with surrounding schools, particularly in mathematics.

Reading was 38% at Millcreek versus 55% at nearby schools. Social Studies was a relative bright spot: 27% proficient was 11 points below the state, the smallest state gap among the subjects reported.
