Summary

Pulaski Elementary School serves 535 students in kindergarten through grade 5 in Somerset, in Pulaski County. Its results are stronger than the state’s in nearly every subject, but the most important concern is fourth-grade science: proficiency fell to 38%, below both the state and district.

Fifth-grade writing is a standout strength locally and statewide: 61% of students were proficient, compared with 35% statewide and 53% in the district; that result is also 14 points above the 47% average among nearby schools with reported scores. Social studies was another bright spot, at 59% versus 38% statewide and 55% in the district. Science is the clearest weakness against both comparison groups: its 38% result was 2 points below the state and 7 below the district, and it was the lowest reported fourth-grade result among nearby schools. Math proficiency topped state results in every tested grade, though it was slightly below district results in each.

Science has declined sharply, from 56% in 2022–23 to 38% in 2025–26, while the state result rose from 35% to 40%; Pulaski’s advantage over the state thus shifted from 21 points to 2 points below. SchoolDigger ranks Pulaski 157th of 684 statewide, at the 77th percentile with 4 stars. Nearby SchoolDigger percentiles range from 39 to 98; Northern Elementary School and Oak Hill Elementary School rank higher, at the 98th and 95th percentiles. The student-teacher ratio was 15:1 in 2024–25, and 62% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. One notable SchoolDigger subgroup result is for Special Education Students: its statewide percentile was 28 in 2025–26, down from 69 two years earlier, compared with the school’s overall percentile of 77.
