Summary

Eastern Elementary School is a K–5 school serving 535 students in Georgetown, in Scott County. Its academic results are strong overall, but performance varies sharply by subject. The most important caution is Writing: the score fell 23 percentage points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, to 38%—equal to the district and just 3 points above the state.

Eastern stands out most in Editing and Mechanics, where its 78% result led nearby schools and exceeded the nearby average of 45%, the state’s 48%, and the district’s 52%. Reading was another broad strength: its 61% average across grades 3–5 was 11 points above the state and 10 above the district. It also scored 50% in fourth-grade science and fifth-grade Social Studies, compared with nearby averages of 34% and 34%, respectively. Fifth-grade math was the highest nearby at 58%, though third-grade math was 41%, close to the local average of 41%. Writing was less distinctive: its 38% result was only modestly above the nearby average of 35%.

SchoolDigger ranked Eastern 175th of 684 Kentucky elementary schools in 2025–2026, at the 74th percentile with four stars. That was below Rise STEM Academy for Girls at the 82nd percentile and Northern and Western at 75, but above the other listed nearby schools. Its percentile shifted from 76 to 70 to 74 over the last three years. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 statewide percentile for Low Socio Economic Status Students was 53, 21 points below the school’s overall percentile; for Special Education Students, it was 44, a 30-point gap. In 2024–2025, the student–teacher ratio was 16.0, the highest among nearby schools with reported figures. Also that year, 24% of students were directly certified for free meals, compared with 30% at Western, the only nearby school with the same measure. Attendance is a positive: chronic absenteeism fell from 19% in 2021–2022 to 9% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 21% and state’s 24%.
