Summary

Cochrane Elementary serves 470 students in prekindergarten through grade 5 in Louisville, in Jefferson County. SchoolDigger ranked it at the 6th percentile statewide in 2025–26 (642 of 684 schools, 0 stars), while Jefferson County ranked at the 15th percentile (135 of 158, 1 star). The most important finding for families is that Cochrane’s latest proficiency results were below the state in every tested subject and generally among the lowest of nearby schools.

Cochrane’s relative bright spot is grade 5 math: 36% were proficient, 7 points below the state but 4 points above the district; the nearby-school average was 48%. Its weakest state comparison was grade 4 science, where 9% were proficient, compared with 40% statewide and 26% in the district. Reading results were also low: grade 4 was 29%, versus a nearby average of 52%, and Cochrane was lowest among nearby schools in reading in grades 3, 4, and 5. Attendance is another concern: chronic absenteeism was 30% in 2025–26, above the state’s 24% and the second-highest rate among the ten nearby schools.

SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking has declined from the 24th percentile in 2022–23 to the 6th in 2025–26. Some scores have also fallen: grade 3 reading dropped from 44% to 25%, while grade 4 science fell from 25% in 2024–25 to 9% in 2025–26. Context includes a student-teacher ratio of 13 in 2024–25, compared with a nearby average of about 16.2, and 61% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, versus a nearby average of 46%. SchoolDigger’s subgroup measure showed stronger statewide standing for Hispanic students: the 43rd percentile in 2025–26, up from 26 the prior year, compared with 6 overall. For African American students, the measure was at the 52nd percentile in 2024–25, versus 11 overall.
