Summary

Walton-Verona Intermediate School serves grades 4–5 and enrolls 282 students in Verona, Kentucky, with nearby schools providing useful local comparisons. In 2025–2026, its proficiency results were above state figures in every reported subject and matched Walton-Verona Independent district results. The central takeaway is a clear local split: fifth-grade Editing and Mechanics stands out, while fifth-grade Math is the school’s biggest comparative weakness.

Editing and Mechanics is the strongest local result: 69% of fifth-graders were proficient, 13 percentage points above the nearby-school average of 56% and 21 points above the state’s 48%; the district was also at 69%. Fifth-grade Math was 44%, just 1 point above the state and equal to the district, but 15 points below the nearby average of 59%. Fifth-grade Reading also trailed nearby schools, at 54% versus 61%. Fourth-grade Reading was a relative bright spot: 59%, 4 points above the nearby average of 55%. So results are not uniformly stronger than local peers, even though every reported subject was above the state.

Test scores and the overall rank are available only for 2025–2026, so the supplied data cannot show whether performance is rising or falling. SchoolDigger ranks the school 204th of 684 Kentucky schools, at the 70th percentile with four stars; the district ranks 11th of 158, at the 93rd percentile with five stars. SchoolDigger’s ranking for Special Education Students is at the 43rd percentile, 27 points below the school’s overall percentile—a notable difference in its measure of how well the school serves that group. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 14.8, second-lowest among 10 nearby schools. In 2025–2026, chronic absenteeism was 7%, compared with 11% in the district and 24% statewide. The school’s free/reduced lunch eligible share was 39% in 2024–2025, near the middle of the nearby range.
