Summary

Eastside Elementary School serves 399 students in prekindergarten through grade 5 in Cynthiana, in Harrison County. Its 2025–26 results show that, most importantly, students are below state and nearby-school proficiency averages in nearly every tested subject, with the biggest shortfalls in reading and math.

Reading and math are the clearest areas of concern: Eastside averaged 34% proficient in reading and 28% in math, compared with state averages of 50% and 43%, and averages of 46% and 39% at nearby schools. Science and editing and mechanics are relative bright spots locally: fourth-grade science was 30%, close to the three nearby Harrison County schools’ 29% average, while fifth-grade editing and mechanics was 44%, compared with 46% at those local schools. Both results remain below the state averages. The local schools generally rank higher, too: SchoolDigger places Westside Elementary School at the 62nd percentile, Southside Elementary School at the 41st, and Northside Elementary School at the 24th, versus Eastside at the 17th.

Some scores have improved over time, but the picture is mixed: average reading proficiency rose 5 percentage points and math rose 3 points from 2022–23 to 2025–26, while fifth-grade social studies fell 6 points from 2023–24. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking also slipped from the 29th percentile in 2023–24 to the 17th percentile in 2025–26 (569th of 684 schools; one star). Attendance is a notable strength: chronic absenteeism fell to 8% in 2025–26, below the county’s 16% and the state’s 24%. In 2024–25, the student–teacher ratio was 16.5, and 53% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves female students declined from the 40th percentile in 2023–24 to the 23rd in 2025–26. Its ranking for how well it serves students receiving special education services fell from the 56th percentile in 2018–19 to the 4th in 2022–23.
