Summary

Richardsville Elementary is a public elementary school in Bowling Green, Kentucky, serving 458 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Warren County School District, which is ranked 64 out of 157 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Richardsville Elementary has faced academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools in recent years. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school ranked 352 out of 685 and received a 2-star rating. Its proficiency rates in mathematics and reading lag behind the Warren County and Kentucky averages, and the school struggles particularly in subjects like social studies and science. Richardsville Elementary also has significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state average.

While Richardsville Elementary underperforms compared to nearby schools like Jennings Creek Elementary and Briarwood Elementary School, it outperforms some schools in the Bowling Green Independent School District, such as Parker-Bennett-Curry School and Dishman McGinnis Elementary School. The school's higher per-student spending and strong performance with special education students suggest opportunities for targeted interventions to address the specific needs of struggling students.
