Summary

Ekron Elementary School serves 365 students in grades K–6 in Ekron, within Meade County. Its 2025–2026 results are generally above state levels, but they vary sharply by grade: sixth grade is a standout, while third-grade reading is the clearest concern.

Writing and upper-grade math are strong compared with the district, state and nearby schools. Fifth-grade writing was 59%, versus 45% in the district and 35% statewide, the highest among nearby schools with results; Payneville Elementary School was next at 51%. Sixth-grade reading reached 82%, above the district’s 67%, the state’s 54% and Payneville’s 74%. The main weakness is third-grade reading: 41%, compared with 60% in the district, 49% statewide and 57% at Payneville. Fifth-grade social studies is another soft spot, at 34%, matching the district but below the state’s 38% and nearby Payneville Elementary School (49%) and Vine Grove Elementary School (53%).

Results show both progress and areas to watch. Fifth-grade writing has fallen 12 points since 2022–2023, though it remains 24 points above the state; social studies dropped 9 points and is now below the state. SchoolDigger gives the school 4 stars and a 71st-percentile ranking in 2025–2026, third among eight nearby ranked schools, behind Vine Grove (75th) and Payneville (73rd); its overall percentile fell 12 points from the prior year. SchoolDigger’s “Low Socio Economic Status Students” ranking also fell, from the 89th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 66th in 2025–2026, a 23-point decrease. For context, 54% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, and the student-teacher ratio was 17.4 in that school year—the highest reported among nearby schools. These figures describe context, not the cause of academic results.
