Summary

Bevins Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Sidney, Kentucky, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 236 students. The school is part of the Pike County School District, which is ranked 26 out of 157 districts in Kentucky and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bevins Elementary has shown strong academic performance, ranking in the top 25% of Kentucky elementary schools in recent years. The school outperforms the Pike County and Kentucky averages in several subject areas, particularly in Mathematics and Social Studies. For example, in 2024-2025, 80% of 5th-grade students at Bevins Elementary were proficient or better in KSA/Social Studies, compared to 57% in Pike County and 38% statewide. The school has also demonstrated consistent improvement in reading proficiency, with 64% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in KSA/Reading in 2024-2025, compared to 50% statewide.

However, Bevins Elementary has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25% to 40.5% in recent years. This is a significant concern and may be impacting the school's academic performance. Additionally, while Bevins Elementary generally outperforms the nearby Feds Creek Elementary and Mullins Elementary schools, the Millard School and Phelps Elementary School have demonstrated stronger overall academic performance, ranking higher among Kentucky elementary schools. The Pikeville Elementary School, which is part of a different district, also outperforms Bevins Elementary in several academic areas, likely due to its higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio.
