Summary

Coxs Creek Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 478 students in grades K-5 in Coxs Creek, Kentucky. The school is part of the Nelson County School District, which is ranked 135 out of 157 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of Coxs Creek Elementary's key strengths is its consistently strong performance on standardized tests, often outpacing the Nelson County and Kentucky state averages, particularly in math and reading. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 49%, compared to 40% for the district and 43% for the state. However, the school faces challenges with higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.3% to 28% in recent years.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools in the Bullitt County and Nelson County districts, Coxs Creek Elementary generally performs better on standardized tests, particularly in math and reading. However, its chronic absenteeism rates are higher than most of the comparison schools. The school could benefit from focusing on reducing chronic absenteeism and addressing any performance gaps between student subgroups to continue improving its overall academic achievement.
