Summary

Simmons Elementary School serves 415 students in prekindergarten through grade 5 in Versailles, in Woodford County, Kentucky. Its latest results show a clear contrast: mathematics is a broad strength, while reading—particularly in grades 3 and 5—lags local district and nearby-school results. Overall, math is the school’s strongest subject compared with the state, district, and nearby schools.

In 2025–2026, Simmons averaged 56% in math, ahead of the state average of 43%, the Woodford County average of 53%, and the nearby-school average of 51%. Reading averaged 54%: above the state’s 50%, but below the district’s 60% and nearby schools’ 57%. The gap is especially clear in grades 3 and 5, where reading scores were 11 and 9 points below the district, respectively; grade 4 reading was one point higher than the district. Social studies was a relative bright spot locally at 47%, compared with a nearby average of 44%, though it remained below the district’s 49%.

Math has improved, rising from an average of 43% in 2022–2023 to 56% in 2025–2026, a 13-point gain; reading, science, and writing also improved over that period. SchoolDigger ranks Simmons 212th of 684 Kentucky elementary schools, in the 69th percentile with 3 stars; its percentile rose 22 points from 2022–2023. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves Special Education Students improved from the 6th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 41st in 2025–2026, though it remains below the overall ranking.
