Summary

Located in Clinton, Kentucky, Hickman County Elementary School serves 443 students from Pre-K through grade 6. Its 2025–2026 test results are close to state averages in several subjects, but that does not tell the whole story: the most important finding is that its math and reading results are each about 10 percentage points below nearby schools’ same-grade averages.

The school’s strongest results are in fifth grade: math is 52%, above the nearby-school average of 47%, and reading is 67%, above the nearby average of 59%. Across grades 3–6, math averages 43%, nearly matching the state, while reading averages 56%, about 5 points above the state. Locally, however, reading is about 10 points below nearby schools. Writing is the weakest subject against the state, at 31% versus 35%; it is also 13 points below the nearby average. Results match those of the Hickman County district in every reported grade and subject. Chronic absenteeism is a positive: 9% at the school, compared with 12% in the district and 24% statewide.

Results have improved in reading overall: its average rose from 42% in 2022–2023 to 56% in 2025–2026, while math remained nearly flat at 43% in both years; writing fell from 56% to 31%. SchoolDigger ranks the school 302nd of 684 Kentucky schools, at the 56th percentile with 3 stars, up from the 34th percentile the year before. The school has the highest student–teacher ratio among the six nearby schools, at 14.2 in 2024–2025. In that same school year, 62% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s Male Students percentile rose from 37 to 67 in one year, while its Low Socio Economic Status Students percentile fell from 72 to 52 between 2023–2024 and 2025–2026; these rankings reflect how well the school serves each group.
