Kerrick Elementary

Public Grades K-5

670^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 684 Kentucky Elementary Schools

Better than 2% of Kentucky elementary schools

Summary

Kerrick Elementary in Louisville serves grades K–5 and enrolls 348 students, making it smaller than nearby elementary schools, which enroll 418–592 students. The surrounding schools have a wide range of SchoolDigger rankings, from the 1st to the 39th percentile. The central concern is that Kerrick’s results are low compared with state and district benchmarks across every subject reported, and its overall standing is near the bottom statewide: 670th of 684 Kentucky elementary schools, at the 2nd percentile with 0 stars, according to SchoolDigger.

Kerrick’s strongest comparison is fifth-grade reading: 28% of students were proficient, essentially matching the nearby-school average of 28%. Science is comparatively closest to state and district results, though still below both: 15% at Kerrick, compared with 40% statewide and 26% in Jefferson County. Writing stands out as a particular weakness against nearby schools, with 9% proficient compared with a nearby average of about 20%; editing and mechanics was 19% versus about 26%. Reading averaged 24% across grades 3–5, below the state average of 50% and district average of 38%. Third-grade math is another specific concern: 14% proficient, compared with a nearby average of about 25%.

Same-grade scores have generally improved from their earliest reported results: reading rose by 11–13 percentage points across grades 3–5, and fourth-grade science rose by 12 points. However, SchoolDigger’s overall percentile has stayed around the bottom of the rankings in recent years, moving from the 1st to 3rd percentile before returning to the 2nd in 2025–2026. Kerrick has the lowest student-teacher ratio among the nearby schools, at 11.8 students per teacher in 2024–2025, compared with the nearby average of 16.2. Its free/reduced lunch eligible rate was 73% that school year, close to the nearby average of 75%. Chronic absenteeism also improved, falling from 38% in 2021–2022 to 29% in 2025–2026, but remained above the state rate of 24%.

I spent time as a preferred substitute teacher at Kerrick Elementary School, and I really enjoyed the experience! The principal, assistant principal are very involved with the teachers and students. The staff also is very supportive. Everyone works well together to create a great learning environment. Close Quote

Kerrick has a family-focused atmosphere and like most public schools, the more connected and involved you are as a parent, the better your experience will be. Kerrick has a diverse student body in terms of race, class (all students receive free lunch), and academic abilities (high-performing advanced program plus assistance for strugglers), and as a result can support and challenge most any child. Kerrick has a very active and successful PTA and would welcome your participation and support if your child were to attend. If you are looking for a great school that will listen to your needs and work with you Kerrick would be a great school to visit. Do what we did...pop in unannounced and spend 30 minutes checking it out. You'll probably like what you find. We are graduating our youngest this year, so we have 7 years of history with Kerrick and hope our Middle/High School selections are as successful as what we found at Kerrick. Close Quote
