Summary

Brodhead Elementary School serves 493 students in prekindergarten through grade 5 in Brodhead, in Rockcastle County. Its 2025–2026 results are above both state and district averages in every subject reported, and SchoolDigger places it in the 87th statewide percentile—the highest among the nearby schools in this comparison. The standout finding is that Brodhead’s fifth graders are especially strong across several subjects, not just one.

Fifth grade is where the school most clearly stands out: 84% of students were proficient in math, compared with 61% in the district and 43% statewide; in reading, the figures were 85%, 76% and 51%, and in social studies they were 75%, 54% and 38%. Brodhead also had the highest reported nearby-school scores in fifth-grade math, reading and social studies. Its smallest advantage over the state was in fourth-grade science: 48% proficient versus 40%, an 8-point gap. Grade 3 reading is a less exceptional local result: Brodhead’s 56% was above the nearby average of 51%, but below Highland Elementary School (72%), Shannon Johnson Elementary School (64%) and Paint Lick Elementary School (60%).

Results have improved over time, though not in a steady year-by-year climb: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, subject averages rose by 21 points in math, 18 in reading, 36 in writing, 37 in social studies and 40 in editing and mechanics. SchoolDigger rates the school four stars; its statewide percentile rose from 34 in 2020–2021 to 87 in 2025–2026, after reaching 95 in 2023–2024. Context includes a 14.5 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025, compared with a nearby-school average of 12.7, and 68% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, versus a nearby average of 73%. Chronic absenteeism was 23.8% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 27.8% and close to the state’s 23.5%.
