Greysbranch Elementary School is a public elementary school in Greenup, Kentucky, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 290 students. The school is part of the Greenup County School District, which is ranked 134 out of 157 districts in the state.

Greysbranch Elementary School has shown fluctuating academic performance, with its statewide ranking ranging from 132 to 372 out of 684-700 Kentucky elementary schools. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school ranked 282 out of 685 and had a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its performance on the Kentucky State Assessments varies, with higher proficiency rates than the Greenup County and state averages in 4th and 5th grade reading, as well as 5th grade editing and mechanics.

Greysbranch Elementary School has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.3% to 30.3% over the past few years, and a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 51.9% to 56.9% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. However, the school's increased per-student spending, from $13,106 in 2020-2021 to $40,310 in 2023-2024, and its relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.6 to 13.1, may have contributed to its improved performance in some areas.
