Summary

Taylor Mill Elementary School in Covington, Kentucky, serves 508 students in prekindergarten through grade 5. Its 2025–26 KSA subject averages are above Kenton County and state averages in all six reported subjects. The main qualification is that third-grade math and reading trail nearby-school averages, even as fourth- and fifth-grade results are generally strong.

The school’s biggest comparative strengths are science and social studies: grade-4 science is 58%, 18 points above the state average, while grade-5 social studies is 55%, about 10 points above both the district and nearby-school averages. Math is its narrowest lead over nearby schools, at 59% compared with 58%. The grade-level split is important: third-grade math is 49% versus a nearby average of 59%, and reading is 57% versus about 62%. By contrast, fourth- and fifth-grade math and reading all exceed nearby averages. Chronic absenteeism is another positive: about 9% in 2025–26, compared with 13% in the district and 24% statewide.

Results have improved in some subjects but not all: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, science rose 21 points and reading rose about 7, while writing fell 10 points and math was nearly flat. SchoolDigger rates Taylor Mill at the 86th percentile and four stars, down from the 92nd percentile and five stars in 2023–24; four nearby schools rank higher. Its student–teacher ratio is 15.6:1, near the local middle. The school reported 44% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25, close to the nearby average of 49%; this is context, not an explanation for achievement. One notable subgroup result is SchoolDigger’s statewide measure for Special Education Students: the school’s percentile rose from 41 in 2023–24 to 77 in 2025–26, indicating a marked recent improvement in how well it serves this group, though the trend may not continue.

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
