Summary

West Broadway Elementary School serves 486 students in prekindergarten through grade 5 in Madisonville, in Hopkins County. Its results are uneven: third-grade math is a bright spot, while several other tested subjects are weaker than at nearby schools in the same district. The most important takeaway is that, despite that math strength, West Broadway’s average was below its nearby same-district peers in every tested subject.

Third-grade math proficiency was 64%, compared with 43% statewide and 52% across the district; fourth-grade math was much lower, at 25%, and fifth-grade math was 42%, below all six nearby same-district schools. Across tested grades, math averaged 44% at West Broadway, just above the state’s 43%, but below the district’s 50% and nearby schools’ 52%. Science was the clearest weakness: 31% proficient, versus 40% statewide, 42% districtwide and 45% at nearby schools. Writing was comparatively strong at 38%—3 points above the state and only 2 points below nearby schools. Reading averaged 46%, below the state, district and nearby-school averages of 50%, 55% and 56%.

Scores fell from 2022–23 to 2025–26 in every subject shown: reading declined by 7 points, science by 13 and writing by 14, though math recovered from a recent low to 44%. SchoolDigger ranked West Broadway 397th of 684 Kentucky elementary schools, at the 42nd percentile with 2 stars; it ranked lowest among the six nearby same-district schools. The school’s 17.3 students per teacher in 2024–25 was the highest among those peers. Its free/reduced lunch eligible rate was 61% in 2024–25, close to their 59% average. Chronic absenteeism was lower: 16% in 2025–26, compared with 23% in the district and 24% statewide. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for Special Education Students fell from the 51st percentile in 2023–24 to the 26th in 2024–25, indicating a lower comparative standing for that group. Its Low Socio Economic Status Students ranking was at the 40th percentile in 2025–26, down 25 points from 2023–24, while the overall ranking fell from the 51st to the 42nd percentile.
