Summary

Smyrna Elementary School in Louisville serves 515 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade in Jefferson County. Its latest test results show a mixed picture, but the most important finding is that scores were below state averages in all six subjects with reported results, with the largest gaps in editing and mechanics and science.

Social studies is Smyrna’s clearest relative strength: fifth graders averaged 31%, ahead of the Jefferson County average of 28% and the nearby-school average of 21%, though still below the state’s 38%. Math also outpaced the district, averaging 34% compared with 31%, and each tested grade was above the nearby average. The weaker comparisons are editing and mechanics, where Smyrna’s 26% was 11 points below the district and 22 below the state, and science, where its 19% was 7 points below the district and 21 below the state. Reading averaged 33%, below both the district’s 38% and the state’s 50%; third-grade reading was also below the nearby average.

Results have improved in some areas but not consistently: writing rose 19 points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, and math gained 6 points while narrowing its state gap; science fell 6 points, while reading was essentially flat. SchoolDigger ranks Smyrna at the 16th percentile, with 1 star, in 2025–2026—fourth-highest among 10 nearby schools, despite its low statewide standing. Its 15.3 students per teacher in 2024–2025 was the lowest nearby, and 70% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, close to the nearby average of 69%. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves African American students places the group at the 60th percentile statewide, compared with 16 overall, up from 28 in 2023–2024. Chronic absenteeism also improved, falling from 39% in 2022–2023 to 23% in 2025–2026, close to the state’s 24%.
