Summary

East Heights Elementary School serves 377 students in kindergarten through grade 5 in Henderson, Kentucky, in Henderson County. Its latest results are mixed: proficiency was above the state average in four of six reported subjects, but below the district average in four. The clearest concern is mathematics, where the school’s grades 3–5 average was 40%, behind the state at 43%, the district at 49%, and the other nearby schools’ average of 53%.

There are bright spots, but they do not erase the math gap. Third-grade reading was a particular strength at 60%, above the state (49%), district (56%), and nearby-school average (56%). Editing and Mechanics was also strong relative to the state: 56%, compared with 48%; it was level with the district and close to the nearby-school average of 56.3%. By contrast, fourth-grade math was 36%, versus 43% statewide, 50% districtwide, and 53% at nearby schools on average. Fifth-grade reading was 51%—equal to the state, but below the district (60%) and nearby schools (61%).

Results have weakened from recent highs: math averaged 56% in 2022–2023 and 40% in 2025–2026, a 16-point drop, while SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking fell from the 73rd percentile in 2024–2025 to the 52nd in 2025–2026; the current rating is three stars. SchoolDigger’s rankings also point to weaker recent standing for some student groups: the school ranked at the 30th percentile for serving Special Education Students, down from the 53rd percentile in 2023–2024, and at the 7th percentile for serving Multi-racial Students, down from the 81st in 2024–2025; that latter ranking includes few schools. Context includes a 14.3 student-teacher ratio and 66% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. Attendance is comparatively strong: chronic absenteeism was 14% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 19% and the state’s 24%.
