Summary

Johns Creek Elementary School serves 616 students in pre-K through grade 8 in Pikeville, in eastern Kentucky’s Pike County. Its overall results are strong, especially in reading, but vary by grade and subject. The clearest concern is grade 5 mathematics: 30% of students were proficient, compared with 51% districtwide.

Reading is the school’s clearest strength: its grades 3–8 average was 69% proficient, about 20 points above the state and 4 points above the district. Nearby Valley Elementary School averaged 74% in those grades, higher than Johns Creek. Math is more mixed: Johns Creek averaged 46%, about 8 points below the district but 5 above the state. In grade 5, results at nearby schools ranged from 22% at Betsy Layne Elementary School to 65% at Millard School. Other strengths include grade 5 writing, at 53%—5 points above the district and 18 above the state—and social studies, which averaged 62% across grades 5 and 8, 10 points above the district and 23 above the state.

Results have improved over time: the math average rose from 33% in 2022–23 to 46% in 2025–26, moving from 7 points below the state to 5 points above it; reading rose from 55% to 69%. SchoolDigger ranks the school at the 79th percentile with 4 stars in 2025–26, up from the 33rd percentile in 2020–21.
