Summary

Mapleton Elementary School is a public elementary school in Mount Sterling, Kentucky, serving 504 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Montgomery County School District, which is ranked 57 out of 157 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mapleton Elementary has a history of strong academic performance, consistently outpacing the Montgomery County and Kentucky state averages in mathematics, reading, and science. In 2024-2025, the school's 4th-grade students scored 53% proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 48% for the county and 44% for the state. Mapleton's 4th-grade reading proficiency rate of 64% was also significantly higher than the 58% for the county and 50% for the state. The school has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, with a brief period of a 4-star rating in the mid-2010s.

Mapleton Elementary outperforms the nearby Camargo Elementary and Northview Elementary schools in several academic areas, particularly in mathematics and reading. However, the school has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25% to 38.3% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism could be an important area of focus for the school and district to further improve student outcomes.
