The school is part of the Shelby County School District, which is ranked 125 out of 157 districts in Kentucky and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Painted Stone Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools, with a ranking between 462-623 out of 517-700 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on state assessments (KSA) is significantly below the Shelby County and Kentucky averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in mathematics range from 19-22%, compared to 41-44% for Shelby County and 43% for Kentucky. Painted Stone's reading proficiency rates are also low, ranging from 31-36% in 2024-2025, compared to 40-50% for Shelby County and 47-50% for Kentucky. The school has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 55.48% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024.

Painted Stone has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 8.8% to 28% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The nearby schools in the Shelby County district, such as Heritage Elementary, Simpsonville Elementary, and Clear Creek Elementary, generally outperform Painted Stone Elementary on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates and better rankings. However, these schools also have higher percentages of students from low-income backgrounds, suggesting that Painted Stone's struggles may be more closely tied to the socioeconomic challenges faced by its student population.

If there's anything for sure, PSE teachers truly care about their students. They believe in the quote, "It's not what you say or don't say, it's how you make them feel." That's what children take with them. Keep the love PSE teachers! Close Quote
