Summary

Minors Lane Elementary serves 370 students in PK–5 in Louisville’s Jefferson County, alongside 10 nearby elementary schools. Its latest KSA results show proficiency below both Jefferson County and the state in every grade and subject with a reported school score. The most important takeaway is that the school’s proficiency gaps are broad, not limited to one grade or subject.

Fifth-grade reading is a relative bright spot locally, while editing and mechanics is especially weak. Minors Lane’s fifth-grade reading proficiency was 35%, just above the nearby-school average of 34%, although below the district’s 40% and state’s 51%. Fourth-grade reading was 29%, slightly above the nearby average, but third-grade reading and math were both 15%, compared with nearby averages of 29% and 25%. In fifth-grade editing and mechanics, 16% were proficient, versus 29% nearby, 37% districtwide and 48% statewide. Fifth-grade social studies was 21%, below the nearby average of 24%, district’s 28% and state’s 38%.

Results have shifted unevenly over time: fifth-grade math fell 10 points, from 36% in 2022–2023 to 26% in 2025–2026, and fifth-grade social studies fell 12 points, from 33% to 21%; fifth-grade reading rose 5 points, from 30% to 35%. SchoolDigger rated Minors Lane in the 5th statewide percentile with 0 stars in 2025–2026; its percentile has remained low, ranging from 4 to 10 over the four reported years. The school’s 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 11.1, lower than the nearby average of 16.7, while 80% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the second-highest share among nearby schools. Chronic absenteeism declined 12 points from 2022–2023 to 28% in 2025–2026, still 5 points above the state rate. SchoolDigger’s 2024–2025 effectiveness ranking for African American students was at the 42nd percentile, compared with the school’s overall 6th percentile; its English Language Learner Students ranking dropped from the 33rd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 6th in 2024–2025.
