Summary

Duff-Allen Central Elementary serves 376 students from pre-K through grade 8 in Eastern, Kentucky, in Floyd County. Its results vary considerably by grade and subject: grade 7 and grade 8 include notable strengths, while fifth-grade literacy and editing and mechanics are clear concerns. The most important takeaway for families is that strong results in some older grades do not reflect achievement across the school.

The school’s strongest comparisons are in grade 7 math and reading and grade 8 writing. In 2025–2026, grade 7 math was 62%, compared with 39% statewide and 29% in the district; grade 7 reading was also 62%, versus 50% statewide and 41% in the district. Both were the highest reported results among nearby schools at that grade. Grade 8 writing reached 67%, 19 percentage points above both state and district results and the highest reported result among nearby schools. In contrast, editing and mechanics averaged 28% across reported grades, versus 45% statewide and 37% in the district. Fifth-grade writing was especially weak at 18%, compared with 35% statewide and 28% in the district; it was the lowest reported nearby result for that grade.

Some results have improved over time: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, grade 7 math rose 23 percentage points to 62%, grade 4 science rose 23 points to 45%, and grade 8 writing rose 27 points to 67%. Chronic absenteeism also fell from 52% in 2021–2022 to 36% in 2025–2026, but remains above the state rate of 24% and close to the district’s 35%. SchoolDigger rates the school at 2 stars and the 37th percentile statewide in 2025–2026, up from the 14th percentile in 2020–2021. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 11.4, among the lowest reported nearby. In 2024–2025, 81% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, close to the nearby-school average of 82%. SchoolDigger’s effectiveness ranking placed female students at the 55th percentile in 2024–2025, compared with the school’s overall 30th percentile that year, before the female-student ranking fell to the 40th percentile in 2025–2026. For low socioeconomic status students, the ranking was 46th percentile versus the school’s overall 30th in 2024–2025; the latest rankings were 45th and 37th, respectively.
