Summary

Norton Commons Elementary serves 598 students in prekindergarten through grade 5 in Prospect, in Jefferson County. Its 2025–26 proficiency averages are above both the state and district averages in every reported subject except writing, where the school is one point below the state. The school is a strong performer among its immediate Jefferson County peers, but several nearby schools are stronger overall. The most important takeaway is that writing is its clearest academic weakness amid otherwise strong results.

Editing and mechanics is the school’s strongest subject relative to the state: 69% of students are proficient, compared with 48% statewide and 37% in the district. Math and reading averages are 59% and 66%, respectively—16 points above the state in each. Writing proficiency is 34%, one point below the state’s 35%, though nine points above the district. Among the six reporting Jefferson County schools in the comparison, Norton Commons has the second-highest average in each subject, behind Norton Elementary. Norton Elementary’s math and reading averages are 75% and 84%. Grade 4 math is a relative dip at Norton Commons: 55%, compared with 60% in grade 3 and 62% in grade 5.

Results have improved in math and reading over the four years shown: math rose from 52% to 59%, and reading from 59% to 66%; writing fell from 44% to 34%. Norton Commons ranks 120th of 684 Kentucky schools, at the 82nd percentile with four stars, according to SchoolDigger.
