Summary

Hazelwood Elementary is a PK–5 school in Louisville’s Jefferson County with 527 students. Its strongest signs are some upper-grade reading results and improved attendance, but the central concern is that proficiency remains well below district and state levels in every subject with a reported school score.

Hazelwood is not at the bottom of every nearby comparison: its grade 4 and 5 reading scores were both 33%, above nearby-school averages of 27% and 25%, and its grade 5 reading tied Gutermuth Elementary for the highest reported score. Grade 4 and 5 math also topped nearby averages. Still, across grades 3–5, Hazelwood averaged 20% in math and 28% in reading, compared with district and state averages of 31% and 43% in math, and 38% and 50% in reading. Writing, Social Studies, and Editing and Mechanics were also below district and state averages; Editing and Mechanics was the clearest weakness, at 23% versus 37% and 48%. Hazelwood’s science result is suppressed, so it is unknown. Attendance is a relative bright spot: chronic absenteeism was 22%, below the district’s 32% and state’s 24%, and third-lowest among nearby schools, behind Schaffner Traditional Elementary and Rutherford Elementary.

Results over time are mixed: comparable grade 4–5 math fell from an average of 32% in 2022–2023 to 22% in 2025–2026, while reading rose from 26% to 28% after dipping to 20% in 2024–2025. Chronic absenteeism improved from 37% to 22%. SchoolDigger places Hazelwood at the 6th percentile statewide in 2025–2026, rank 641 of 684, with 0 stars. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 14.0, tied for the lowest among nearby schools; 90% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, the highest nearby rate using the same measure. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings show a higher relative standing for serving African American students: the school ranked at the 35th percentile in 2025–2026, compared with its overall 6th percentile. Its English Language Learner ranking fell from the 75th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 8th in 2023–2024, then stood at the 12th percentile in 2025–2026.
