8^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 684 Kentucky Elementary Schools

Better than 99% of Kentucky elementary schools

Summary

Millard School serves 601 students in prekindergarten through grade 8 in Pike County, in eastern Kentucky. Its strongest finding is its statewide standing: SchoolDigger ranks it 8th of 684 Kentucky schools, at the 99th percentile with 5 stars, and it has the highest percentile among nearby schools with reported rankings.

Millard stands out in math and reading, especially in grades 5–7. Its average math proficiency across grades 3–8 is 71%, compared with 42% statewide and 54% in Pike County; its reading average for grades 5–8 is 84%, versus 49% statewide and 63% districtwide. Locally, it leads its district in reported math scores in grades 3–7 and reading scores in grades 5–7. Eighth-grade reading is a relative weakness: 63% is above the state’s 40% and district’s 51%, but below Feds Creek (69%), Elkhorn City (68%) and Johns Creek (67%). Attendance is another concern: chronic absenteeism is 37%, compared with 35% in the district and 24% statewide.

Results have risen substantially over time: average math proficiency increased 27 points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, and reading increased 26 points. SchoolDigger’s percentile rose from 61 to 99 over that period, while its rank improved from 270 of 687 to 8 of 684. Context for families: the student-teacher ratio was 16.6 in 2024–2025, the second highest among nearby schools with data. In that same school year, 79% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, close to the 78% average among the other Pike County schools in the comparison.
