Jones Fork Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Mousie, Kentucky, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 165 students. The school is part of the Knott County School District, which is ranked 63 out of 157 districts in Kentucky and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jones Fork Elementary School has shown a wide range of academic performance over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 157 to 461 out of Kentucky's elementary schools. However, the school's performance on the Kentucky State Assessments (KSA) is generally higher than the Knott County and Kentucky averages, particularly in reading and science. For example, in 2024-2025, Jones Fork Elementary had 83% of 6th graders proficient or better in reading, compared to 58% in Knott County and 52% statewide. The school also excels in mathematics, with 67-69% of 7th and 8th graders proficient or better, compared to 38-40% in Knott County and 43% statewide.

Compared to other elementary schools in the Knott County district, Jones Fork Elementary School generally outperforms its peers on academic measures, particularly in reading and mathematics. However, the school's performance is not as strong as that of Robinson Elementary School in the neighboring Perry County district, which consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state. Despite serving a high-poverty student population, with over 80% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Jones Fork Elementary School has been able to achieve strong academic outcomes, particularly for its low-income students.
