Summary

Richardsville Elementary serves 446 students in PK–6 in Bowling Green, in Warren County. Its clearest takeaway is that reading is a strong point: the school’s latest reading average is above both the district and state results, and its overall standing has risen sharply in recent years.

Reading, writing and science are the school’s strongest comparisons. Richardsville averaged 60% in reading, versus 54% for the district and 51% statewide; its sixth-grade reading score of 68% tied Briarwood Elementary School for the highest among nearby schools reporting that grade. Fifth-grade writing was 62%, compared with 57% districtwide and 35% statewide; only Jennings Creek Elementary scored higher nearby. Fourth-grade science was 55%, above the district’s 47% and state’s 40%, and the highest nearby result. Math is less consistent: the school’s average was 45.5%, nearly matching the district’s 46%, but sixth-grade math was 41% versus 51% districtwide. Editing and Mechanics is the clearest current weakness, at 45% compared with 51% for the district and 48% statewide.

The improvement over time is substantial: Richardsville’s SchoolDigger statewide percentile rose from 13 in 2022–23 to 69 in 2025–26, when it ranked 209 of 684 schools and earned three stars. Across the same period, its math average rose from 22% to 46%, and reading from 31% to 60%; however, writing and Editing and Mechanics both fell from the previous year. SchoolDigger’s special-education ranking also rose notably, reaching the 71st percentile in 2024–25, above the school’s overall 49th percentile that year; the group ranking had been at the 28th percentile the year before. In 2024–25, the student–teacher ratio was 16.1, higher than seven of nine nearby schools with reported ratios. That year, 79% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, below the reported rates at Jennings Creek, Warren Elementary and Dishman McGinnis Elementary School.
