Summary
Oak Hill Elementary School in Somerset, Kentucky, serves 551 students in grades K–5 in Pulaski County. Its 2025–26 results were above state averages in every tested subject, with particularly strong results in science and editing and mechanics. The most important takeaway is that Oak Hill delivers broadly strong academic results, though performance varies by grade and subject.
Oak Hill’s strongest comparisons are in fourth grade: its 79% math, 74% reading and 67% science proficiency rates were each the highest reported among nearby schools with results, compared with nearby averages of 57%, 59% and 45%, respectively. Across tested grades, Oak Hill averaged 69% in math, 70% in reading and 67% in science, versus Pulaski County averages of 57%, 60% and 45%, and state averages of 43%, 50% and 40%. Editing and mechanics was another standout: 77%, compared with 61% in the district and 48% statewide. The relative soft spots are third-grade math, at 54%—about the nearby average—and fifth-grade social studies, at 61%, above the nearby average of 52% but below three nearby results of 64%, 70% and 75%.
Results have shifted over time: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, fourth-grade science rose from 45% to 67%, fifth-grade writing from 56% to 64%, and math averaged across tested grades from 60% to 69%; reading fell from 74% to 70%, while fifth-grade social studies dropped from 79% to 61%. Recent declines in third- and fourth-grade math and reading are worth watching. SchoolDigger ranks Oak Hill in the 95th percentile and awards it 5 stars for 2025–26; nearby Northern Elementary School ranks in the 98th percentile, while Hopkins Elementary School is at the 93rd. Oak Hill’s student-teacher ratio was 16.2 in 2024–25, above the 12.8–15.0 range for other Pulaski County elementary schools with reported ratios. In that school year, 55% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with 62% to 84% at nearby tested elementary schools. Chronic absenteeism was 17% in 2025–26, below the district’s 25% and the state’s 24%. One notable subgroup result: SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for Disabled Students was at the 58th percentile in 2021–22, compared with Oak Hill’s overall 98th percentile that year; the subgroup ranking had been at the 91st percentile in 2018–19, so this historical difference does not establish a recent trend.
