Summary

Camp Dick Robinson Elementary School serves 446 students in PK–5 in Lancaster, in Garrard County. In 2025–2026, SchoolDigger ranked it 110th of 684 Kentucky schools, at the 84th percentile with 4 stars; Garrard County ranked 39th of 158 districts, at the 75th percentile with 4 stars. The clearest takeaway for families is a sharp academic split: writing is an exceptional strength, while math is the school’s main relative weakness.

Writing stands out against state, district, and nearby results: fifth-grade proficiency was 75%, compared with 35% statewide, 49% in the district, and a nearby-school average of 36%. It was the highest reported nearby fifth-grade writing score; Wilmore Elementary School was next at 59%. Math is above the state average but trails local comparisons: the grades 3–5 average was 50%, versus 43% statewide, 58% in the district, and 53% at nearby schools. Reading is another strength, averaging 70% across grades 3–5, compared with 50% statewide, 65% in the district, and 58% nearby. The math concern is concentrated in grades 4 and 5: proficiency was 58% in grade 3, then 46% in each of the next two grades.

Recent trends make math worth watching: its average rose from 47% in 2022–2023 to 50% in 2025–2026, but fell from 60% in 2024–2025. Reading rose from 51% to 70% over the same four-year span, and fifth-grade writing increased from 59% to 75%. Attendance is a positive: chronic absenteeism was 11% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 19% and the state’s 24%. The school’s overall SchoolDigger standing is strong among nearby ranked schools, though Woodlawn Elementary School (97th percentile) and Wilmore (90th) ranked higher. Its 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 15.9, the highest among nearby schools with reported ratios, compared with a nearby average of 13.7. In 2024–2025, 59% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, below the nearby average of 66%; these are contextual measures, not explanations for results.

Open Quote We moved from Lexington to Camp Dick Robinson district specifically because of the elementary school. Two children go through CDR and it was an exceptional experience with both children. Highly recommend. Close Quote

Open Quote I went to the school for help and pushed for open communication. Their response was to call CPS. Completely failed us and dismissed any concerns I had. Close Quote
