Gutermuth Elementary

640^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 684 Kentucky Elementary Schools

Better than 6% of Kentucky elementary schools

Summary

Gutermuth Elementary serves 451 students in kindergarten through grade 5 in Louisville’s Jefferson County. Its results show a mixed picture: it performs better than many nearby schools in several subjects, but its statewide standing is low. SchoolDigger ranks it in the 6th percentile statewide, at 640 of 684 schools, with 0 stars—the most important overall caution for families.

Gutermuth’s clearest strength is grade 5 Editing and Mechanics: 40% of students were proficient, 3 percentage points above the Jefferson County average and 19 points above the nearby-school average. Social Studies was another local bright spot, at 22%, or 7 points above nearby schools on average. It also placed near the top of nearby schools in grade 3 Math and Reading and grade 5 Reading. Writing is the sharpest weakness: 7% proficiency was 18 points below the district, 28 below the state, and 10 below nearby schools on average; it was tied for the lowest result among nearby schools with reported scores. Science was also low, at 12% compared with 40% statewide.

Results have moved in different directions: from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026, average Math and Reading proficiency across grades 3–5 fell by about 5 and 4 percentage points, respectively, and grade 4 Science fell 15 points. Over the same period, grade 5 Social Studies rose 9 points and Editing and Mechanics rose 20. SchoolDigger’s overall percentile fell from 11th in 2024–2025 to 6th in 2025–2026. Context includes a 14.0 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025 and 78% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, close to the nearby-school average. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings show a stronger measured standing for Hispanic Students: 58th percentile in 2025–2026, compared with 6th overall. Its ranking for English Language Learner Students fell from the 44th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 11th in 2025–2026.
