Summary

Hayes Lewis Elementary School serves 125 students in prekindergarten through grade 8 in Yeaddiss, Kentucky, in Leslie County. SchoolDigger ranked the school 510th of 684 Kentucky schools in 2025–2026, at the 25th percentile and 1 star, down from 331st, the 52nd percentile and 3 stars the year before. The most important concern is that the low overall standing coincides with high absenteeism and below-state results in most reported subject-grade comparisons: chronic absenteeism reached 50%, and the school was below the state in 8 of 12 reported comparisons.

Math in grades 7 and 8 is the clearest strength: scores of 57% and 58% were 18 and 19 points above the state, and also exceeded district results and nearby-school peer averages. The contrast with other subjects is stark. Fourth-grade science was 25%, compared with 40% statewide and 56% districtwide; fifth-grade reading was 36%, 15 points below the state and 26 below the district, and below the nearby-peer average of 65%. Grade 8 reading was 42%—slightly above the state’s 40%, but below the district’s 54% and peer average of 58%. In local SchoolDigger rankings, Hayes Lewis also trails nearby Mountain View Elementary and Stinnett Elementary School, among others.

Results have shifted over time: grade 7 math rose from 39% in 2023–2024 to 57% in 2025–2026, while grade 8 reading fell from 81% to 42%. Chronic absenteeism climbed from 35% in 2021–2022 to 50% in 2025–2026, 27 points above the state and 5 above the district. In 2024–2025, the student-teacher ratio was 12.9, below the 13.2–15.6 range at nearby regular schools; 61% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, compared with a nearby-school average of 73%. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for White Students fell 30 percentile points in the latest year, to the 9th percentile, below the school’s overall 25th percentile; the ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students was at the 30th percentile. Some school test scores are suppressed, so the reported results do not show every grade and subject.
