Summary:
Zip code 41144 has one listed elementary school, Greysbranch Elementary School, serving prekindergarten through grade 5 and enrolling 278 students in Greenup County. With just one school, families are comparing its results with district and Kentucky figures rather than choosing among local campuses. Across nine subject-and-grade results reported in both years, the school’s average fell from 51% in 2024–2025 to 38% in 2025–2026, while the state average was about 44% in both years; most importantly, Greysbranch shifted from 7 points above the state average to 6 points below it.
Greysbranch’s strongest results against Kentucky were grade 5 Editing and Mechanics, at 57% compared with 48% statewide, and grade 4 reading, at 57% versus 50%. Mathematics was its clearest weakness: grade 4 results were 23% versus 43% statewide, and grade 5 results were 22% versus 43%. Overall, seven of the nine results that were not suppressed were below state levels; grade 3 math cannot be assessed because its school result was suppressed. The picture is more favorable against the district: Greysbranch exceeded district results in seven of those nine comparisons, including reading by 12 points in grade 3, 18 points in grade 4, and 9 points in grade 5.
The recent decline was broad, especially in writing and math: grade 5 writing fell 30 points, from 52% to 22%, while grade 5 math dropped 23 points, from 45% to 22%; state writing fell 3 points and state math was unchanged. SchoolDigger’s statewide elementary ranking also declined, from 261st of 685 schools (62nd percentile, 3 stars) in 2023–2024 to 446th of 684 (35th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026. As context, the school reported 15% chronic absenteeism in 2025–2026, below the state’s 24%, and a student-teacher ratio of 12.7 in 2024–2025; 54% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that school year.
