Summary

Tollesboro Elementary School serves pre-K through grade 6 and enrolls 256 students in Tollesboro, Kentucky. Its latest results show a clear split across subjects: reading and some grade-5 subjects stand out, while math—especially in grade 4—is the main academic concern.

Reading is the school’s strongest area compared with the state, district, and nearby schools. In 2025–2026, its average across grades 3–6 was 65% proficient, compared with 51% statewide and 49% in Lewis County; grades 4–6 each scored 69% or higher, above the nearby-school ranges for those grades. Grade-5 writing was also a standout at 77%, versus 35% statewide and 39% districtwide. Math is the contrast: the four-grade average was 34%, compared with 43% statewide and 33% districtwide. Grade-4 math was just 19%, below the 20%–31% range among nearby schools with reported scores. Grade 6 offers a brighter math result at 46%, four points above the state.

Results have shifted unevenly over time: the reading average rose from 58% in 2022–2023 to 65% in 2025–2026, while the math average fell from 37% to 34% and its gap behind the state widened from 5 to 9 points. SchoolDigger ranked Tollesboro 218th of 684 schools, at the 68th percentile with 3 stars in 2025–2026; that was down from the 79th percentile the year before, but remained the highest reported percentile among nearby schools. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 13.2, lower than nearby reported ratios, and 73% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, compared with a nearby average of 66%. SchoolDigger’s effectiveness ranking for special education students was at the 80th percentile in 2023–2024, compared with the school’s overall 63rd percentile that year, suggesting stronger relative performance for that group. Science results for 2025–2026 were suppressed, so no score is available.
