Summary

Carr Creek Elementary School is a public K-8 school in Littcarr, Kentucky, serving 357 students as part of the Knott County School District. The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the years, currently ranking 285 out of 685 Kentucky elementary schools with a 3-star rating.

Carr Creek Elementary consistently outperforms the Knott County and Kentucky state averages in mathematics and reading proficiency across multiple grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 80% of 3rd graders at Carr Creek were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 54% in Knott County and 43% statewide. The school also has strong performance among various student subgroups, including female students, male students, white students, and students with disabilities. However, the school faces higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.0% to 58.2% in recent years.

Compared to nearby schools in the Knott County district, Carr Creek Elementary generally outperforms its peers in both mathematics and reading proficiency. However, when compared to schools in the neighboring Letcher County and Perry County districts, Carr Creek's performance is more mixed, with some schools, like Viper Elementary, performing better in certain subject areas. Overall, Carr Creek Elementary is a strong-performing school that consistently outpaces its local and state counterparts, though addressing chronic absenteeism and continuing to improve performance in all subject areas could further enhance the school's educational outcomes.
