Summary

Munfordville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Munfordville, Kentucky, with 502 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.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($14,343 to $16,399) compared to the state average, Munfordville Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the state and county averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 15% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in math at Munfordville, compared to 30% in the county and 43% statewide. The school also has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 24.9% to 28.1% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average.

Munfordville's performance is particularly concerning for male students, white students, and students with disabilities, who rank significantly lower than their peers in the state. While Munfordville's performance is generally lower than the state and county averages, it is also lower than most of the nearby schools in the Hart County district and surrounding districts, such as Cub Run Elementary, Legrande Elementary, and Bonnieville Elementary.
