Summary

Uniontown Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 204 students in grades K-5 in Uniontown, Kentucky, which is part of the Union County School District. The school has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 547 out of 685 schools and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Uniontown Elementary faces significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates, consistently low test scores across all grade levels and subject areas, and a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 62.03% to 62.98% over the past few years. While the school performs slightly better than the other Union County elementary schools, it lags far behind the neighboring Henderson County schools in terms of academic achievement and other key metrics.

Uniontown Elementary's performance is particularly low for its White students and low-socioeconomic status students, who rank in the bottom 10-15% of their respective student groups statewide. Additionally, the school's performance has been declining over the past decade, with its statewide ranking dropping from the 400s to the 500s and its SchoolDigger star rating decreasing from 2 stars to 1 star. Addressing these issues will be crucial for improving the educational outcomes for the students at Uniontown Elementary School.
