Summary

Beaver Creek Elementary School serves 183 students in grades K–8 in Topmost, an eastern Kentucky community. The most pressing concern is chronic absenteeism: in 2025–26, 46% of students were chronically absent, compared with 24% statewide and 47% in Knott County.

Test results show one relative strength and several areas to watch. Editing and Mechanics averaged 46%, just above the nearby-school average of 45% and above the state’s 45% and district’s 43%. Science was the clearest weakness: 29%, compared with 42% at nearby schools, 34% statewide and 40% districtwide. Writing was also low at 32%, about 10 percentage points below both the state and nearby-school averages. Grade results vary: grade 3 Reading reached 64%, above the state’s 49%, while grade 5 Reading was 33% against 51% statewide, and grade 8 Math was 27% against 39%. SchoolDigger places Beaver Creek at the 36th percentile statewide, below six of nine nearby schools and the lowest among the five listed schools in Knott County.

Reading has improved markedly across grades with results in both recent years: its average rose from 27% in 2024–25 to 49% in 2025–26, reaching the state average for those same grades. SchoolDigger’s overall percentile rose from 5 in 2022–23 to 22 in 2024–25 and 36 in 2025–26, although the school remains in the lower half statewide. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 11.4, among the lowest in the nearby group. The school reported that 83% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25, the third-highest figure among nearby schools with the same measure and year. SchoolDigger’s group rankings also point to notably stronger recent results for male students, at the 73rd percentile in 2025–26 versus the school’s overall 36th; the ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students was 65th percentile. Those group rankings have risen sharply from 2022–23, when they were at the 1st and 8th percentiles, respectively.
