Summary

Rosa Parks Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lexington, Kentucky, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Fayette County School District. The school has consistently been one of the top-performing elementary schools in Kentucky, ranking within the top 30 schools in the state for the past several years and receiving a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2024-2025 school year.

Rosa Parks Elementary School's academic performance is exceptional, with significantly higher proficiency rates compared to the district and state averages in mathematics (77% vs. 45% and 43%), reading (85% vs. 50% and 47%), and other subjects. The school's performance has been particularly strong across various student subgroups, including female, male, Asian, and white students. However, the school's performance with special education students and low socioeconomic status students has been more mixed, indicating a need for further support and interventions for these populations.

When compared to nearby schools in the Fayette County School District, Clays Mill Elementary, Stonewall Elementary, and Wellington Elementary lag behind Rosa Parks Elementary in academic performance, while schools like Cardinal Valley Elementary and James Lane Allen Elementary struggle with significantly lower proficiency rates. The nearby schools with higher percentages of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds also tend to have higher chronic absenteeism rates, which is a concern for Rosa Parks Elementary as well.
