Summary
Greysbranch Elementary School serves 278 students in prekindergarten through grade 5 in Greenup County, where the district’s SchoolDigger standing is the 14th percentile and 1 star. The school’s clearest strengths are reading and editing and mechanics, but the most important concern is that recent math and writing results have fallen sharply and now trail state results.
Reading and editing and mechanics are relative bright spots, while math and writing are the main weaknesses. Grade 4 reading proficiency was 57%—7 points above the state, 18 above the district, and 12 above the nearby-school average; across grades 3–5, reading averaged 49%, 13 points above the district but 1 point below the state. In grade 5 editing and mechanics, 57% were proficient, compared with 48% statewide, 49% in the district, and a nearby-school average of 46%. By contrast, grades 4–5 math averaged 23%, versus 43% statewide and 37% at nearby schools. Grade 5 writing was 22%, 13 points below the state, 1 below the district, and 17 below the nearby-school average.
Results and overall standing have weakened: SchoolDigger ranked the school at the 62nd percentile and 3 stars in 2023–2024, compared with the 35th percentile and 2 stars in 2025–2026. The two-grade math average dropped 7 points, from 30% in 2022–2023 to 23% in 2025–2026, while grade 5 writing fell 31 points, from 53% to 22%. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness measure also fell to the 25th percentile for Male Students, from 63 the prior year, indicating a notable decline in how well the school serves that group. For White Students, it fell to the 28th percentile, from 54 the prior year. Context includes a student–teacher ratio of 12.7 in 2024–2025, below the nearby-school average of 14.3, and 54% of students free/reduced lunch eligible that year, compared with 65% at nearby schools. Greysbranch’s 2025–2026 grade 3 math score is not reported.
