Summary

Red River Valley Elementary School serves 107 students in grades K–6 in Hazel Green, Kentucky, and its latest results show a sharply mixed picture. The most important finding is that fourth-grade math is a standout strength, while fifth-grade editing and mechanics is a pronounced weakness: scores were 71% and 42%, respectively.

Fourth-grade math was stronger than the state’s 43%, the district’s 45%, and every reported nearby-school result; Rogers Elementary School was next highest at 62%. Fourth-grade science also exceeded the state and district, at 53% compared with 40% and 45%. Fifth-grade writing was another bright spot: 50%, versus 35% statewide and 37% in the district, and above the reported results at nearby schools. By contrast, fifth-grade editing and mechanics was below both the state’s 48% and the district’s 72%, ranking fourth-lowest among eight nearby results. Third-grade reading is also a concern: 50%, just above the state’s 49% but below the district’s 60%.

Results have changed substantially by grade and year: fourth-grade math climbed from 38% in 2022–2023 to 71% in 2025–2026, while third-grade reading fell from 71% to 50% and fifth-grade editing and mechanics dropped from 58% to 42%. SchoolDigger ranks the school at the 70th percentile in 2025–2026, with four stars and a rank of 207 out of 684; its percentile has declined from 85 in 2023–2024. The school’s free/reduced lunch eligible rate was 89% in 2024–2025, the highest among the ten nearby schools with the same measure and year. SchoolDigger’s ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students was at the 89th percentile in 2025–2026, compared with the school’s overall 70th percentile—a positive group-specific indication of how well the school serves those students. Chronic absenteeism improved to 33% in 2025–2026 from 47% the prior year, but remained above the state’s 24%.
