Summary

Cub Run Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Cub Run, Kentucky, with a total enrollment of 205 students. The school is part of the Hart County School District, which is ranked 100 out of 157 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cub Run Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently outperforming the Hart County and Kentucky state averages in mathematics and reading proficiency across multiple grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Cub Run's 6th-grade mathematics proficiency rate was 60%, compared to 31% for Hart County and 41% for the state. The school also excels in serving its special education students, ranking in the top 10% of Kentucky elementary schools in 2018-2019. However, Cub Run faces challenges with a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate and a large population of economically disadvantaged students, which may be contributing to a declining performance trend compared to other high-performing schools in the region, such as Clarkson Elementary and South Edmonson Elementary.

Despite these challenges, Cub Run Elementary School stands out for its strong student-teacher ratio of 12.6 in 2023-2024, lower than the other schools in the Hart County district, which range from 13.5 to 15.1. The school also has a higher spending per student compared to the other schools in the district, with a 2023-2024 figure of $20,281 per student. These factors, combined with Cub Run's academic performance, suggest the school is providing a quality education to its students, even as it navigates the socioeconomic challenges of its community.
