Taylor Mill Elementary School consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Kentucky, with a statewide ranking between 54 and 133 out of 684-700 schools over the past several years. The school's performance on the Kentucky State Assessments (KSA) is impressive, with a higher percentage of students scoring proficient or better compared to the Kenton County and Kentucky averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 64% of 3rd graders, 69% of 4th graders, and 75% of 5th graders scored proficient or better in reading, compared to the Kenton County averages of 58%, 60%, and 59%, respectively.

While Taylor Mill Elementary School generally outperforms the nearby Kenton Elementary, James A. Caywood Elementary, and Ft. Wright Elementary schools in academic performance, the nearby Ryland Heights Elementary school also demonstrates strong academic performance, with several metrics on par or exceeding those of Taylor Mill Elementary. However, the school's rising chronic absenteeism rates and the relatively lower performance of special education and low-income students warrant further attention and targeted interventions.

What people are saying

by a parent
Tuesday, September 13, 2016

I suppose if your child is a healthy, mainstream child the school would be considered towards the higher end of average. However, if your child has physical, emotional, or major medical issues this is not the school for them. They offer very little support and the majority of the staff can be very condescending. If you advocate for your child and they don't like what you have to say, you can forget it. Very cliquish, Peyton Place, attitudes. Close Quote
