Summary

Bevins Elementary School in Sidney, Kentucky, serves pre-K through grade 5 and enrolls 236 students. Its latest results show standout fifth-grade performance in writing and social studies, alongside strong math in grades 4 and 5. The clearest takeaway is that fifth-grade writing and social studies are among the school’s strongest results—and lead nearby schools with reported scores.

In 2025–2026, 70% of Bevins fifth graders were proficient in writing, compared with 35% statewide and 48% in the district; its 74% in social studies compared with 38% statewide and 52% in the district. Bevins led nearby schools in both subjects. Editing and mechanics was another strength at 74%, tied with Pikeville Elementary School for second among nearby schools with results, behind Millard School. Fourth-grade math was 71% proficient, second locally, and fifth-grade math was 52%, also second. Reading is less consistent: third-grade reading was 48%, 1 point below the state and 19 below the district; fifth-grade reading was 67%, 16 points above the state and 2 above the district. Fourth-grade science was 54%, above the state’s 40% but below the district’s 61%. The latest third-grade math score is suppressed, so it cannot be assessed.

Results have moved in different directions over time. Fifth-grade social studies rose 36 points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, and editing and mechanics rose 21 points; writing remained well above the state but fell 11 points, from 81% to 70%. Fourth-grade math has been strong recently, though it eased from 82% in 2024–2025 to 71%; fifth-grade math fell from 72% to 52% over that period. Reading’s average across grades with results in all three years increased 4 points from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026, but third and fourth grades declined while fifth grade improved. SchoolDigger ranks Bevins 83rd of 684 Kentucky schools, at the 88th percentile with four stars, up from the 45th percentile in 2021–2022; it ties Phelps Elementary School and Pikeville Elementary School locally, behind Millard at the 99th percentile. In 2024–2025, 78% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, and the student-teacher ratio was 15.7. Chronic absenteeism declined from 40% in 2023–2024 to 30% in 2025–2026, but remained above the state’s 24%.
