Summary

Western Elementary School is a public elementary school in Georgetown, Kentucky, serving 590 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Scott County School District, which is ranked 73 out of 157 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Western Elementary School has consistently performed well academically, ranking in the top half of Kentucky elementary schools over the past 10 years. The school's reading and writing proficiency rates are generally above the district and state averages, but its mathematics performance has been more mixed, with 3rd-grade and 5th-grade math proficiency rates below the district and state levels in recent years. The school's performance for female and white students is relatively strong, but it struggles with the academic achievement of Hispanic, English Language Learner, special education, and low-socioeconomic status students.

Compared to nearby schools, Stamping Ground Elementary and Eastern Elementary perform worse than Western Elementary, while Sandersville Elementary and Northside Elementary (in neighboring districts) outperform Western Elementary. The school's chronic absenteeism rate has also increased significantly, from 8.3% in 2021-2022 to 25.0% in 2024-2025, which is much higher than the state average.
