Rosa Parks Elementary School

Public Grades K-5

17^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 684 Kentucky Elementary Schools

Better than 98% of Kentucky elementary schools

Summary

Rosa Parks Elementary School serves 681 students in kindergarten through grade 5 in Lexington, within Fayette County. Its latest SchoolDigger ranking is 17th of 684 Kentucky schools, at the 98th percentile with five stars. The key takeaway for families is that Rosa Parks pairs a near-top statewide standing with strong results across its reportable tested subjects.

Mathematics is a particular strength: Rosa Parks averaged 76% proficiency across grades 3–5, compared with 50% in the district, 43% statewide and 54% among nearby schools. Reading was also strong, averaging 78%, versus 55% in the district, 50% statewide and 58% nearby. Social studies is less exceptional in the local comparison: the grade 5 result was 56%, above the district’s 44% and state’s 38%, but closer to the nearby average of 48%. Writing was stronger locally, at 61% compared with a nearby average of 41%. The 2025–2026 science result for Rosa Parks is suppressed, so its latest science performance cannot be compared.

Rosa Parks has maintained a high overall SchoolDigger standing, ranking between the 96th and 99th percentiles in the years reported, though subject trends differ: average math proficiency rose from 74% in 2022–2023 to 76% in 2025–2026, while reading fell from 80% to 78%. One notable point to ask the school about is its SchoolDigger ranking for how well it serves students receiving special education services: it dropped from the 71st percentile in 2023–2024 to the 44th the next year and the 9th in 2025–2026 (287th of 314), compared with the school’s overall 98th percentile. The school’s 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 15.2, the second-highest among the nearby schools; 17% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, the lowest share in the comparison group. These are school-context figures, not explanations for its results.
