Summary

Laukhuf Elementary in Louisville serves 627 students in prekindergarten through grade 5 in Jefferson County. Its results are mixed: it compares favorably with many nearby schools in several subjects, but remains below Kentucky’s average in every tested subject in 2025–2026.

Fifth-grade math and reading are standout areas compared with nearby schools: Laukhuf’s 38% in math is above the nearby average of 31%, and its 46% in reading is above the nearby average of 34%. Social studies (31%) and editing and mechanics (41%) also exceed nearby averages of 26% and 30%, respectively. However, Laukhuf’s grade-4 reading (33%) is below the nearby average of 41%, as are grade-4 science (22% versus 29%) and grade-5 writing (21% versus 30%). Across grades 3–5, average math proficiency is 37%, above the district’s 31% but below the state’s 43%; average reading is 38%, about even with the district and below the state’s 50%. Science and writing also trail both district and state results.

SchoolDigger ranks Laukhuf at the 23rd statewide percentile, with 1 star, in 2025–2026—fifth among the 11 schools compared. Its percentile has fallen from 69 in 2015–2016, though it rose from 18 the previous year. Longer-term results are uneven: average math proficiency improved from 26% in 2022–2023 to 37%, while reading fell from 43% to 38% and fifth-grade writing from 40% to 21%. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 ranking for Hispanic students is notably higher than the school’s overall standing: the group ranked at the 46th percentile, up from the 21st percentile in 2024–2025. For context, 56% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, compared with a nearby-school average of 68%; the student-teacher ratio was 17.3, versus 16.4 nearby.
