Summary

Roundstone Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Mount Vernon, Kentucky, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 244 students. The school is part of the Rockcastle County School District, which is ranked 58 out of 157 districts in Kentucky and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Roundstone Elementary School has consistently performed better than the Rockcastle County and Kentucky averages in several subject areas, particularly in 4th and 5th grade reading and 4th grade science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 52% of 4th graders at Roundstone Elementary were proficient or better in reading, compared to 60% in Rockcastle County and 50% statewide. The school has also consistently ranked in the top 25% of Kentucky elementary schools for its performance with special education students, indicating a strong focus on supporting this student population.

However, Roundstone Elementary has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.5% to 31.6% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. This is an area of concern that the school and district should address to improve student attendance and engagement. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 68.4% to 70.85% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch over the past few years, which may impact student performance and contribute to the chronic absenteeism challenges.
