Summary

R E Stevenson Elementary School serves 459 students in kindergarten through grade 5 in Russellville, Kentucky. Its most important challenge is consistently low test performance: in 2025–2026, results were below the state in all 12 reported subject-and-grade combinations and matched the district’s results in every one.

Fourth-grade science is the school’s closest result to the state, at 25% compared with 40%, but it was still below all eight nearby schools with results, which ranged from 29% to 55%. Grade-3 reading was the school’s strongest grade-level result at 35%, yet it was below the nearby average of 47%. The weakest comparisons include fifth-grade writing, at 8% versus 35% statewide, and editing and mechanics, at 15% versus 48%. Nearby comparisons also show fourth-grade math was lowest among eight schools with results: 19%, compared with a range of 30% to 54%. Fourth-grade reading was also lowest, at 27% versus a nearby range of 45% to 58%.

Some results have improved, but progress is uneven: grade-3 reading rose from 13% in 2022–2023 to 35% in 2025–2026, while fifth-grade editing and mechanics fell from 30% to 15%. Chronic absenteeism also improved, dropping from 31% in 2022–2023 to 17% in 2025–2026; the latest rate is below the state’s 24% but above the nearby average of 13%. SchoolDigger ranked Stevenson 649th of 684 Kentucky schools, at the 5th percentile with 0 stars; the linked Russellville Independent district was at the 7th percentile. In 2024–2025, 93% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the highest rate among nearby schools reporting the same measure; those schools ranged from 45% to 67%. The student-teacher ratio was 14.5, below the nearby average of 15.6. Historical SchoolDigger rankings were stronger for Disabled Students—39th percentile in 2017–2018 and 34th in 2018–2019, compared with the school’s overall 13th and 10th percentiles—but these are not current results.
