Summary

Lemons Mill Elementary School is a public elementary school in Georgetown, Kentucky, serving 533 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 and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lemons Mill Elementary School has experienced a decline in its statewide ranking over the past decade, dropping from 139th out of 698 Kentucky elementary schools in 2014-2015 to its current ranking of 536th out of 685 schools in 2024-2025. The school has consistently been rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger in recent years. Academically, Lemons Mill underperforms compared to the Scott County and Kentucky averages in proficiency rates for mathematics, reading, science, writing, social studies, and editing/mechanics across grades 3-5. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd-grade mathematics proficiency rate was 34%, compared to 39% for Scott County and 43% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low in 4th-grade mathematics (24% proficient) and 5th-grade social studies (20% proficient).

Lemons Mill Elementary School also struggles to support the academic achievement of several student subgroups, including African American, Hispanic, special education, and low socioeconomic status students. Additionally, the school has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 12.6% to 28.0% in recent years, significantly above the state average. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $16,284 to $22,771 in recent years, Lemons Mill's academic outcomes have not improved significantly. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to identify and address the root causes of the school's underperformance.

Wednesday, February 1, 2017

This is our first year in public school, we came to Lemons Mill from a private christian school. We really prayed about the decision and God gave us an overwhelming peace about the transition. To say that we love Lemons Mill is an understatement. From the principal to the volunteers everyone is so kind and they seem to LOVE children. This is a really unique and wonderful school and I am so grateful that our children are students at Lemons Mill! Close Quote
