Summary

Eastern Elementary School is a public elementary school in Georgetown, Kentucky, serving 478 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Scott County School District, which is ranked 73 out of 157 districts in the state.

Eastern Elementary School has consistently performed above the county and state averages on the Kentucky State Assessments, particularly in reading and writing. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 5th-grade reading proficiency rate was 65%, compared to 56% for Scott County and 50% for the state. However, the school's mathematics performance has been more mixed, with 3rd-grade and 4th-grade math proficiency rates below the county and state averages in recent years. The school has also seen a significant increase in per-student spending, from $13,234 in 2020-2021 to $20,907 in 2023-2024.

While Eastern Elementary School generally outperforms the district and state, it is not the top-performing school in the immediate area. Nearby schools like Northern Elementary and Western Elementary, both within the Scott County district, have higher rankings and stronger academic performance in several subject areas. Additionally, Rise STEM Academy for Girls, a public magnet school in the Fayette County district, demonstrates even higher academic achievement, particularly in mathematics and reading.

I absolutely loved going to this school, it had a great staff that made me feel at home. It put me ahead heading into Middle School, and Eastern also has a great playground and Academic team. :) Close Quote
