Summary

Jennings Creek Elementary is a PK–6 school in Bowling Green, in Warren County, serving 852 students. Its results are uneven: fifth-grade Writing stands out, but proficiency in most other tested subjects is well below state and district levels. The most important finding is that this weakness is broad across grades and subjects, not limited to a single test.

Fifth-grade Writing is the school’s clearest strength: 65% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, compared with 35% statewide and 57% in Warren County; it was also the highest result among 10 nearby schools with a reported score. The contrast with other subjects is sharp. Across grades 3–6, average Math proficiency was 23%, versus 43% statewide and 46% in the district; Reading averaged 34%, versus 51% and 54%. Those Math and Reading averages were also 19 and 17 points below the respective averages at nearby Warren County schools. Fourth-grade Science was 19%, 21 points below the state, and fifth-grade Editing and Mechanics was 23%, 25 points below. Even in fifth grade, Writing’s strength did not extend to other subjects: Math was 27%, Reading 38%, Social Studies 24%, and Editing and Mechanics 23%.

Recent trends do not yet suggest a broad academic recovery: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, Math fell by 5 points and Science by 6, while the school’s gap to the state widened in both; Writing rose by 37 points and moved from 11 points below the state to 30 points above it. Jennings Creek ranks 587th of 684 schools statewide, at the 14th percentile and one star in SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 ranking, down 10 percentile points from two years earlier. SchoolDigger’s African American student ranking was at the 46th percentile, compared with 14th overall; its English Language Learner ranking fell from the 36th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 18th in 2025–2026. Context includes a student-teacher ratio of 15.5 in 2024–2025 and 87% free/reduced lunch eligible that year, the highest reported rate among nearby schools using the same measure. Chronic absenteeism was 11% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 13% and the state’s 24%.
