Summary

In the small community of Ezel, Kentucky, Ezel Elementary School serves pre-K through grade 5 and enrolls 114 students. Its results are mixed, so schoolwide summaries can hide important differences between grades. The clearest example is reading: fifth-grade proficiency was 88% in 2025–2026, while fourth-grade proficiency was 33%—a striking gap within the same school.

Ezel stands out most in fifth-grade reading and social studies. Its 88% reading proficiency was 37 percentage points above the state and 17 above the district, and was higher than every reported nearby-school result. Fifth-grade social studies was 63%, 25 points above the state and 9 above the district; it was the second-highest reported result among nearby schools. Editing and mechanics was also strong against the state at 69%, though one point below the district. Fourth-grade reading is a major weakness: 33% proficiency was 17 points below the state and 29 below the district; nearby schools averaged 53%, and only one reported a lower score. Fourth-grade science also lagged, at 33% compared with 40% statewide and 44% in the district.

Overall results have slipped: SchoolDigger placed Ezel at the 68th statewide percentile in 2025–2026, down from the 86th percentile two years earlier; it has 3 stars and ranks fourth among the 10 schools in the comparison. Subject trends differ: fifth-grade social studies rose from 53% to 63% over four years, while fourth-grade science fell from 48% to 33%, and fifth-grade writing dropped to 44% from 65% in the years when results were reported. A notable SchoolDigger subgroup result is female students: the school’s percentile fell from 73 to 37 in one year, while its overall percentile moved from 77 to 68. Context includes a 10.8 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025, tied for the lowest among nearby schools, and 65% of students free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, the lowest nearby rate despite a majority being eligible. Because enrollment is small, percentages can reflect relatively few students.
