SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 684 Kentucky Elementary Schools

Better than 98% of Kentucky elementary schools

Summary

London Elementary School serves 592 students in PK–5 in London, in Laurel County. SchoolDigger ranks it 12th of 684 Kentucky schools for 2025–2026, at the 98th percentile with five stars. Its most striking strength is reading: the school averaged 86% proficiency across grades 3–5, compared with 70% in the district and 50% statewide, and it led nearby schools in reading in each tested grade.

Reading stands out against both local and state comparisons, while fifth-grade math is a relative weak spot. The school’s grade 5 math proficiency was 59%, below its grade 3 result of 73% and grade 4 result of 80%; it also trailed Cold Hill Elementary School (74%), Hazel Green Elementary School (64%) and Bush Elementary School (63%). Still, it was above the nearby reported average of 50%, the district’s 54% and the state’s 43%. Grade 5 writing was 68%, just 1 point above the district, though well above the state’s 35%. Attendance is another concern: chronic absenteeism was 32%, versus 31% in the district and 24% statewide; only Hunter Hills Elementary School had a higher rate among nearby schools.

Reading has improved over time: its grade-averaged proficiency rose from 76% in 2022–2023 to 86% in 2025–2026, while math fell from 74% to 71% over that span despite a recent rebound. The school’s SchoolDigger standing also rose from the 77th percentile in 2018–2019 to the 98th percentile in 2025–2026. In 2024–2025, its student-teacher ratio was 15.1, and 74% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a 70% average at nearby schools. One earlier subgroup result stands out: SchoolDigger placed the school’s performance for disabled students at the 86th percentile in 2017–2018, versus the school’s overall 59th percentile that year; in 2018–2019, the subgroup was at the 91st percentile while the overall ranking was at the 77th.
