Summary

Painted Stone Elementary in Shelbyville, KY, serves 458 students in grades K–5 and sits in a local comparison group of 11 schools. The school’s latest results show a broad academic challenge: in 2025–26, its proficiency was below the district and state in every tested subject. Its average across tested grades was 26% in math, compared with 38% for the Shelby County district and 43% statewide; in reading, it averaged 35%, compared with 45% and 50%. The most important finding is that low achievement is not confined to one subject.

Fifth-grade writing is the clearest relative bright spot: Painted Stone scored 30%, close to the district’s 31%, the state’s 35%, and the nearby-school average of 31% among schools with reported results. Math and science stand out as weaker areas. The school’s average math proficiency was 26%, versus 40% among nearby schools; fourth-grade science was 19%, compared with 36% for the district, 40% for the state, and 39% nearby. Third grade is especially concerning: math proficiency was 17% and reading was 24%, both the lowest among Painted Stone and the 10 nearby schools. Those scores were 26 and 25 percentage points below the state, respectively.

There are signs of progress, but they are uneven. Fifth-grade writing rose from 11% in 2023–24 to 30% in 2025–26, narrowing the gap with the state from 28 points to 5. Science moved in the opposite direction: fourth-grade proficiency fell from 22% in 2022–23 to 19%, while the state result rose from 35% to 40%. SchoolDigger ranks Painted Stone 580th of 684 statewide, in the 15th percentile with 1 star; its percentile improved from 9 in each of the three prior years, but remains second-lowest among the nearby schools. Context includes a student-teacher ratio of 13.7 in 2024–25, the second-lowest among nearby schools with reported ratios, and 50% of students free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25, above the nearby-school average of 43%. SchoolDigger’s historical measure of how well schools serve English Language Learner Students fell from the 57th percentile in 2017–18 to the 31st in 2018–19; for Disabled Students, it went from the 61st percentile in 2017–18 to the 35th in 2021–22, still 17 points above the school’s overall percentile that year. These subgroup rankings are historical, not current evidence of performance.

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
