Summary

Owen County Elementary/Primary School in Owenton, Kentucky, serves pre-K through grade 4 and enrolls 674 students, more than nearby schools in the comparison. Its results differ sharply by grade: in 2025–2026, fourth-grade reading and science were above state proficiency rates, while third-grade reading and math were far below them. The clearest concern is third grade: reading proficiency was 28%, 21 points below the state, and math was 21%, 22 points below.

Fourth grade is a relative strength, especially in reading, while math is less competitive with nearby schools. Reading proficiency was 54%, 4 points above the state and higher than five of nine nearby schools with scores; the nearby-school average was 48%. Science was 42%, 2 points above the state and close to the nearby average of 41%. Math was 37%, 6 points below the state and below the nearby average of 42%. The school’s reported results match those of the Owen County district for these tests. Chronic absenteeism is also a concern: 24%, close to the state’s 24% and below the district’s 27%, but higher than the 10.5%–18.4% reported by every nearby school with data.

Results have improved in fourth-grade reading and science since 2022–2023: reading rose 12 points to 54%, and science rose 16 points to 42%. Third-grade reading and math moved in the opposite direction, falling 2 points to 28% and 4 points to 21%. SchoolDigger ranks the school at the 30th percentile with 2 stars in 2025–2026, up 10 percentile points from 2022–2023 but still in the middle of the nearby group. Its student-teacher ratio is 14.3. Free/reduced lunch eligibility was 62% in 2024–2025, below the nearby-school average of 69%. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure for male students rose from the 17th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 38th in 2025–2026, above the school’s overall 30th percentile; its special education measure recovered from the 2nd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 17th in 2025–2026, but remained below the overall result.
