Summary

Peaks Mill Elementary is a 453-student school serving grades 1–5 in Frankfort, in Franklin County. Its 2025–2026 results show a clear contrast by subject: writing is a strength, while math and reading are the most important academic concerns.

Writing stands out against nearby schools, the district and the state: fifth-grade proficiency was 47%, compared with 32% in the district, 35% statewide and a nearby-school average of 31%. Editing and mechanics was also relatively strong at 53%, versus 45% in the district and 48% statewide. Math and reading were weaker: Peaks Mill averaged 37% in math and 41% in reading across grades 3–5, below district averages of 44% and 46%, state averages of 43% and 50%, and nearby averages of 46% and 50%. Grade-level comparisons underline the concern: fourth-grade math was 34%, tied for the lowest among nine nearby schools, while fifth-grade writing was higher than seven of them.

Results and rankings have shifted over time. SchoolDigger’s ranking fell from the 58th percentile and 3 stars in 2024–2025 to the 38th percentile and 2 stars in 2025–2026, after a 33rd-percentile result in 2023–2024. Since 2022–2023, the school’s state gaps widened by 7 points in math and 4 points in reading, while writing improved relative to the state by 14 points. Attendance is comparatively favorable: chronic absenteeism was 13% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 21% and the state’s 24%. In 2024–2025, 58% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; the student-teacher ratio was 14.6.
