Summary

Tully Elementary serves prekindergarten through grade five and enrolls 791 students in Louisville, in Jefferson County. In 2025–26, its proficiency results were above Jefferson County and state averages in every reported subject. The key takeaway is that Tully is performing well against state and district benchmarks, though it is not the top-performing school among its nearby options.

Tully’s strongest result relative to the state and district is writing: 46% of fifth graders were proficient, compared with 35% statewide and 25% districtwide. Its fourth-grade science result—45% proficient—stands out against nearby schools, whose average was 33%. Tully also exceeded the nearby-school average in all six reported subjects, but several schools scored higher in some areas. In SchoolDigger’s 2025–26 statewide ranking, Tully was fourth among the 11 comparison schools; Greathouse/Shryock Traditional, Lowe Elementary and Farmer Elementary ranked higher. Tully’s fourth-grade math and reading scores also fell notably from the prior year, by 16 and 11 points, respectively.

Results over time are mixed: average math and reading proficiency declined from 2022–23 to 2025–26, while writing rose over that period despite a 10-point drop from its 2024–25 high. SchoolDigger gave Tully 3 stars and a 67th-percentile statewide ranking in 2025–26, down from the 91st percentile in 2018–19. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 16:1, close to the nearby-school average of 15.6:1; 41% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s ranking for African American students fell sharply, from the 84th percentile in 2024–25 to the 23rd in 2025–26, indicating a much weaker relative statewide result for that group.

The administrators and teachers are fantastic! My child has had exciting curriculum and been challenged to reach his potential, something he lacked from Smyrna Elementary. The school is organized and has a lot of great programs for all of it's students. We will miss the entire Tully staff when we move on to middle school next year. Close Quote
