Summary:
Five schools serve elementary, middle and high school grades in ZIP code 41230. In the latest KSA results, for school year 2025–2026, school averages were above state results in social studies by 9 percentage points, writing by 7 and editing by 5, but below in math by 5 and science by 8. Louisa West has no test scores reported, and some Fallsburg results are suppressed. The clearest takeaway is that performance varies sharply by grade and subject: same-grade school results differ by as much as 41 percentage points.
Fallsburg Elementary School stands out most often: it scored 69% in grade 8 math, compared with 39% statewide and 28% at Louisa Middle School, and 72% in grade 5 social studies, versus 38% statewide and 36% at Louisa East Elementary School. But Fallsburg’s grade 6 math was 24%, 18 points below the state. East’s grade 5 math was also a concern at 17%, compared with 43% statewide. Middle’s standout was grade 6 math at 53%, 11 points above the state. Lawrence County High School was below the state in all six reported subjects, by between 1 and 10 percentage points. SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings place Fallsburg highest among schools with a ranking, at the 68th percentile; East was at the 37th, Middle at the 34th and High at the 32nd.
Recent results are mixed: High’s average across five matched tests rose by 9 points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while East’s average across 10 fell by 6; Middle’s was nearly unchanged and Fallsburg’s rose by 1. SchoolDigger rankings also fell over two years for all four ranked schools, including 7 percentile points for Fallsburg and 18 for East. In 2024–2025, Fallsburg had the lowest student-teacher ratio at 9.0 and the highest free/reduced lunch eligible share at 67%; East had a ratio of 17.1 and a share of 60%. The measure was reported for all five schools that year, ranging from 57% at High to 67% at Fallsburg. These are useful context, not explanations for test results.
