Summary

Inez Elementary School serves 233 students in pre-K through grade 6 in Inez, a community in eastern Kentucky’s Martin County. Its results vary sharply by grade: sixth grade is a bright spot, but the most important concern is that fourth- and fifth-grade reading are the weakest among nearby schools reporting those results.

Reading and science are the clearest academic challenges compared with the state, district and nearby schools. Fourth-grade reading proficiency was 26%, versus 50% statewide and 41% districtwide; fifth-grade reading was 37%, versus 51% statewide and 54% districtwide. Every nearby school reporting those grades scored higher. Fourth-grade science was also the lowest among nearby schools reporting the grade: 15%, compared with 40% statewide and 24% districtwide. In contrast, sixth-grade reading reached 62%—8 points above the state, though 4 below the district—and sixth-grade math was 55%, 13 points above both state and district results. Among seven nearby schools with sixth-grade math results, only Porter Elementary School scored higher.

Some results have improved, but concerns remain. Chronic absenteeism fell from 55% in 2023–24 to 33% in 2025–26, yet the latest rate was 10 percentage points above the state and matched the district. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking rose from the 15th percentile in 2022–23 to the 33rd percentile in 2025–26 (rank 459 of 684; two stars), but it was second-lowest among nearby schools with reported rankings. The student-teacher ratio was 15.3 in 2024–25, close to the nearby average of 14.8; 65% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, also near the nearby average of 67%. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure of how well the school serves Low Socio Economic Status Students fell to the 28th percentile in 2025–26, down 28 points from the year before.
