Summary

Crums Lane Elementary in Louisville, Jefferson County, serves 457 students in kindergarten through grade 5. Its latest reported 2025–2026 KSA results show the school’s central challenge: every subject-and-grade result with a reported score is below both state and district averages.

Third-grade reading is the clearest bright spot compared with nearby schools, while fifth-grade social studies is the weakest result. In 2025–2026, 31% of Crums Lane third graders were proficient in reading—higher than at 9 of 10 nearby schools with results, with only Schaffner Traditional Elementary scoring higher. Still, Crums Lane was below the state’s 49% and the district’s 37%. Fifth-grade social studies proficiency was 10%, compared with 38% statewide and 28% districtwide; among nearby schools with reported scores, Crums Lane tied with Kerrick Elementary for the lowest. Editing and mechanics was a relative strength against benchmarks: Crums Lane scored 23%, below the state’s 48% and district’s 37%, but close to the nearby-school average of 26% and above five of nine nearby schools. Grade-4 math, grade-4 science and grade-5 writing results were suppressed, so they cannot be compared.

Results have changed unevenly: third-grade reading rose 7 points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, but grade-4 reading fell 15 points and fifth-grade social studies fell 9 points. SchoolDigger ranks Crums Lane in the 2nd percentile statewide, down from the 29th percentile in 2021–2022, and gives it 0 stars. One notable subgroup result is that SchoolDigger places African American Students at the 21st percentile for how well the school serves that group, compared with the school’s overall 2nd percentile; the group ranking rose from the 6th percentile the prior year. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 18.8, the highest among nearby schools with data. That year, 81% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a 77% nearby-school average. Chronic absenteeism was 35% in 2025–2026, above the Jefferson County rate of 32% and the state rate of 24%.
