Summary

Shacklette Elementary serves pre-K through grade 5, enrolls 429 students, and is in Louisville’s Jefferson County district. Its results vary by subject and grade, but the clearest concern is attendance: chronic absenteeism reached 39% in 2025–2026, the highest rate among nearby schools shown and above the district’s 32% and the state’s 24%.

Writing is a relative strength: fifth graders scored 31%, above the district’s 25% and second-highest among nearby schools with results, though below the state’s 35%. Fourth-grade reading was 38%, slightly above the district’s 37% and well above the nearby-school average of 28%, but below the state’s 50%. Third-grade math also stood out locally at 35%, second-highest among nearby schools with results, but below the state’s 43%. The weaker areas include fifth-grade editing and mechanics, at 22% compared with 37% districtwide and 48% statewide, and social studies, at 18% versus 28% and 38%. Shacklette was below the state in every reported subject.

Reading and writing results have improved over time, though gains have not closed the gap with the state: the average reading score rose from 27% in 2022–2023 to 34% in 2025–2026, and writing increased from 14% to 31% between those years. Editing and mechanics moved in the opposite direction, falling from 31% to 22%. Shacklette Elementary ranked 602nd of 684 schools statewide, at the 12th percentile and one star, in SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 ranking—up from the 2nd percentile the prior year. Its student-teacher ratio was 13.8 in 2024–2025, below the nearby average of 15.8; 76% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, close to the nearby average of 73%. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves English Language Learner students was at the 49th percentile in 2025–2026, compared with the school’s overall 12th percentile. For Hispanic students, the measure fell from the 70th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 5th percentile in 2024–2025. Fourth-grade science has no reported school score for 2025–2026, so it cannot be compared.
