Summary

Chenoweth Elementary is a public elementary school in Louisville, Kentucky, serving 527 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Jefferson County School District, which is ranked 140 out of 157 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Chenoweth Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from a high of 107 out of 700 Kentucky elementary schools in 2018-2019 to its current rank of 480 out of 685 in 2024-2025.

Chenoweth Elementary's test scores are generally below the Jefferson County and Kentucky state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics ranged from 32% to 39%, compared to 30% to 31% for the district and 43% to 44% for the state. Similarly, in Reading, Chenoweth's proficiency rates were 32% to 45%, while the district and state averages were 34% to 38% and 47% to 50%, respectively. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25% to 38.1% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Greathouse/Shryock Traditional, Bloom Elementary, and Dunn Elementary, Chenoweth Elementary performs significantly worse, with much higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and more advantaged student populations. Additionally, Chenoweth's spending per student, ranging from $16,721 to $21,542 over the past few years, is higher than the district average, but this additional funding does not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes.

We sent three children through Chenoweth until we moved away from Louisville. I cannot say enough about the quality experience we had there. Our family adored the Principal, Penny Dietrich and the school counsellor was so helpful when one of our children needed support. The outdoor science classroom is amazing and to this day our children are science geeks. I am convinced Chenoweth instilled that love of hands-on science learning in them. The teachers were caring and professional. Mr Henry was an especially exceptional ray of light in our lives. Our children still talk about the teachers they had a Chenoweth and the life lessons as well as the academic ones they learned from them. No school is perfect but this one is as close as it gets in our family's book. Close Quote
