Summary

Serving the Waynesburg area of Kentucky, Waynesburg Elementary School enrolls 194 students in pre-K through grade 5. Its results vary considerably by subject and grade: the clearest strength is 5th-grade writing, while 3rd-grade reading and 4th-grade science are among the main concerns.

Writing is a standout compared with the state, district and nearby schools: in 2025–26, 57% of 5th graders were proficient, 22 points above the state and 7 points above the Lincoln County district. That was the fourth-highest result among nearby schools with reported scores. Reading is weaker: proficiency averaged 46% across grades 3–5, compared with 50% statewide and 54% districtwide; grade 3 reading was 34%, with only one of nine nearby schools scoring lower. In grade 4 science, 31% were proficient, below the state’s 40% and the district’s 39%; the nearby-school average was 41%.

Results have shifted in different directions over time: 3rd-grade math improved from 28% in 2022–23 to 46% in 2025–26, but 3rd-grade reading fell from 49% to 34%. Grade 5 writing remains above the state, though it declined from 88% in 2024–25 to 57%. SchoolDigger’s statewide rating fell from the 74th percentile and 4 stars in 2024–25 to the 47th percentile and 2 stars in 2025–26.
