Summary

Peaks Mill Elementary is a public elementary school located in Frankfort, Kentucky, serving grades 1-5 with a total enrollment of 430 students. The school is part of the Franklin County School District, which is ranked 93 out of 157 districts in the state.

Peaks Mill Elementary's performance has been mixed in recent years. While the school has shown strengths in certain student subgroups and grade-level test scores, it has also faced challenges, such as increasing chronic absenteeism and weaker performance for special education and low socioeconomic status students. In the most recent school year (2024-2025), Peaks Mill Elementary ranked 285 out of 685 Kentucky elementary schools and was rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. Compared to nearby schools in the Franklin County district, Peaks Mill's performance is generally on par or slightly below, but it lags behind higher-performing schools like Northside Elementary School in the Woodford County district and Stamping Ground Elementary School in the Scott County district.

Addressing the school's challenges, particularly in the areas of student attendance and support for disadvantaged student populations, could be key to improving Peaks Mill Elementary's overall academic outcomes. The school's increased spending per student over the years may indicate a focus on improving resources and support, but the impact on academic performance is not yet clear. With continued efforts to address these areas of concern, Peaks Mill Elementary may be able to build on its strengths and better serve the needs of its diverse student population.
