Summary

Mullins Elementary School in Pikeville, Kentucky, serves 779 students from pre-K through grade 8 in Pike County, which SchoolDigger ranks 20th of 158 districts (87th percentile, 4 stars). SchoolDigger places Mullins 290th of 684 Kentucky schools for 2025–26, at the 58th percentile with 3 stars. The most important takeaway is that its average results are above the state in all six tested subjects, but below Pike County in all six.

Reading is a relative strength: Mullins averages 11 percentage points above the state and 3 points above the nearby-school available-score average, though it is 5 points below the district. Science is also above the nearby average by 3 points, and editing and mechanics by 4; all three are above the state, too. By contrast, math is 4 points below the nearby average, writing is 6 points below, and social studies is 2 points below. Grade-level results show sharper contrasts: fourth-grade reading is 75% (compared with 50% statewide and 71% districtwide), and fourth-grade science is 66% (40% statewide and 61% districtwide). Fifth grade is a concern: reading is 44%, versus 51% statewide and 65% districtwide, while writing is 26%, versus 35% and 48%.

Results over time are mixed: math was nearly flat, moving from 44% in 2022–23 to 43% in 2025–26, while reading rose from 54% to 58% after a dip in 2024–25. SchoolDigger’s overall percentile rose from 46 to 58 over the past year, but Mullins remains around the middle of the state ranking. Chronic absenteeism improved from 42% to 33%, yet is still 10 points above the state’s 24%. The student-teacher ratio was 15.8 in 2024–25, and 65% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well Mullins serves Low Socio Economic Status Students fell from the 64th percentile in 2023–24 to the 49th in 2025–26, below the school’s overall 58th-percentile standing.
