Summary

Green Hills Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Bledsoe, Kentucky, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 128 students. The school is part of the Harlan County School District, which is ranked 52 out of 157 districts in Kentucky and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Green Hills Elementary consistently ranks in the top 25% of Kentucky elementary schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in recent years. The school's students outperform the Harlan County and Kentucky averages in several key subject areas, including mathematics, reading, social studies, and editing/mechanics. This is particularly noteworthy given that over 80% of Green Hills' students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds. Despite these socioeconomic challenges, Green Hills Elementary is effectively supporting and challenging its students, ranking in the top 5% of Kentucky elementary schools for low-income students.

While Green Hills Elementary has relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, the school's dropout rates are very low, consistently under 1.5% in the past few years. When compared to other elementary schools in the Harlan County district, Green Hills generally outperforms its peers, particularly in mathematics and reading. However, some nearby schools, such as Cawood Elementary and Rosspoint Elementary, also demonstrate strong academic performance and may provide useful insights or best practices that Green Hills could learn from. Overall, Green Hills Elementary School is a standout performer within the Harlan County district, consistently delivering strong academic results despite serving a high-poverty student population.
