Summary
In Hoskinston, Kentucky, Stinnett Elementary School serves 314 students from pre-K through grade 8. SchoolDigger gives the school 4 stars and ranks it 93rd of 684 Kentucky schools, at the 86th percentile for 2025–2026; among the 11 nearby schools in this comparison, it ranks third, behind Goose Rock Elementary at the 91st percentile and Big Creek Elementary at the 89th. The most important concern alongside that strong ranking is attendance: 48% of students were chronically absent in 2025–2026, compared with 45% in Leslie County and 24% statewide; only Hayes Lewis Elementary School was higher among the nearby schools, at 50%.
Stinnett’s strongest standout is fifth-grade social studies: 80% were proficient, compared with 60% in the district and 38% statewide, the highest reported score among nearby schools with results; next was W B Muncy Elementary School at 68%. Sixth-grade reading was another strength at 76%, above the district’s 67% and the state’s 54%, and close to nearby-high Goose Rock Elementary at 81%. By contrast, seventh-grade results were weak: math was 31% (district 52%, state 39%), reading 51% (65% and 50%), and science 15% (31% and 28%). That seventh-grade science score was the lowest reported among nearby schools.
Results have improved in some areas but not consistently across grades and subjects. On the matched grades available, average math proficiency rose 11 points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, and reading rose 12 points; however, fifth-grade writing fell 35 points, from 68% to 33%. SchoolDigger’s overall percentile climbed from 26 in 2018–2019 to 86 in 2025–2026. Its measure of how well the school serves male students also shifted sharply, rising from the 44th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 82nd in 2025–2026, four points below the overall percentile. For context, the student-teacher ratio was 13.8 in 2024–2025, and 69% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. These figures describe a school with a high overall ranking, notable academic strengths, uneven grade-level results, and a significant attendance challenge.
