Summary

Maupin Elementary is a 302-student PK–5 school in Louisville, in Jefferson County. The most important finding is that all three visible 2025–2026 fifth-grade proficiency results—Reading, Social Studies, and Editing and Mechanics—were below both district and state rates.

Reading is Maupin’s weakest subject against the benchmarks: 21% of students were proficient, compared with 40% in the district and 51% statewide, gaps of 19 and 30 percentage points. Social Studies was 11%, versus 28% and 38%, while Editing and Mechanics was the relative bright spot at 29%, versus 37% and 48%. Editing and Mechanics also compares best locally: Maupin’s 29% was about 5 points above the nearby-school average of 24%, while Reading at 21% was about 2 points below its nearby average of 23%, and Social Studies at 11% was 6 points below its nearby average of 17%. Many other 2025–2026 subject and grade scores, including Mathematics, are suppressed, so comparisons are limited to reported results.

Results have moved in different directions: fifth-grade Reading fell from 28% in 2024–2025 to 21% in 2025–2026, while Editing and Mechanics rose from 9% to 29%; Social Studies ended the period 5 points higher than in 2023–2024. Chronic absenteeism also improved, from 51% in 2021–2022 to 42% in 2025–2026, but remained above the district’s 32% and the state’s 24%. SchoolDigger ranks Maupin 656th of 684 statewide, at the 4th percentile with 0 stars, though its percentile rose from 1 in 2023–2024. Its 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 13.0, lower than most nearby standard elementary schools; only Byck Elementary and Foster Traditional Academy had lower reported ratios. The free/reduced lunch eligible rate was 93% in 2024–2025, the highest among nearby schools reporting that measure. SchoolDigger’s ranking of how well Maupin serves female students rose from the 1st percentile in 2023–2024 to the 16th in 2025–2026; for African American students, it rose from the 2nd percentile in 2017–2018 to the 17th in 2025–2026. Both subgroup percentiles remain below the statewide median.
