Summary

Goshen At Hillcrest Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Prospect, Kentucky, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 614 students. The school is part of the Oldham County School District, which is ranked 10th out of 157 districts in Kentucky and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Goshen At Hillcrest Elementary School consistently ranks among the top 30 elementary schools in Kentucky, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics, Reading, Science, Writing, Social Studies, and Editing/Mechanics are significantly higher than the state and district averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, Goshen At Hillcrest's 4th-grade Mathematics proficiency rate was 74%, compared to 58% for Oldham County and 44% for the state. The school's performance for its male, white, and Hispanic student subgroups is particularly strong, ranking among the top 50 elementary schools in Kentucky.

However, the school's rising chronic absenteeism rate, which increased from 4.7% in 2020-2021 to 25.0% in 2024-2025, is a concern that warrants further investigation. When compared to nearby Jefferson County elementary schools, such as Wilder Elementary, Dunn Elementary, Bowen Elementary, and Chancey Elementary, Goshen At Hillcrest significantly outperforms them in academic proficiency across all subject areas and grade levels.
