Summary

Price Elementary is a K–5 school with 470 students in Louisville’s Jefferson County, where nearby elementary schools have widely varying results. The clearest concern is that Price’s latest test results are below district and state proficiency rates in every reported subject.

Compared with nearby schools, third-grade math is a relative bright spot: Price’s 28% proficiency is close to the nearby average of 31%. But fourth-grade math is 16%, versus a nearby average of 28%, and fifth-grade reading is especially weak at 16%—below every nearby school with a reported result, which ranged from 24% to 81%. Across reported grades, Price averages 21% in math and 21% in reading, compared with district averages of 31% and 38%, and state averages of 43% and 50%. Its results are also below nearby grade-matched averages by roughly 8–14 percentage points across the subjects shown.

Reading has declined across all three grades since 2022–23, with fifth-grade reading falling 21 points, from 37% to 16%; the gap with the state widened to 35 points. Chronic absenteeism improved from 42% in 2022–23 to 29% in 2025–26, but remains above the state’s 24% and the nearby average of 20%; only Watterson Elementary has a higher nearby rate. SchoolDigger ranks Price 661st of 684 schools statewide, at the 3rd percentile with 0 stars. Context includes a 16.7 students-per-teacher ratio and 76% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25; these are observations, not explanations for results. In SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings estimating how well schools serve student groups, Price’s Hispanic-student percentile dropped from 28 in 2023–24 to 1 in 2025–26; its African American student percentile was 17 in 2025–26, compared with 3 overall.

Both of my children have attended Price. Both have done wonderful and have almost always had caring, involved teachers. The majority of the teachers have stayed in touch with us and made their elementary years great learning experiences. The advance program has made them both more than ready for middle school learning! Close Quote

I am a parent to a 2nd grader and a k student. I don't suggest this school as a choice for your children. The staff is rude. They pass kids even if they should be held back a grade to help them advance in learning. My son should have been held back in 1st grade because he is dyslexic and having a very hard time in reading. After fighting with the school I finally got him the help he needs to catch up to his peers. They have been raising money for a new playground for 3 years now but the equipment they finally purchased is still not up to par. They are focused more on art which is good because I am an artist myself but you also need to focus on the more important things like reading, writing, and math. The principle does not have the student's best interest in mind. Close Quote
