Summary:

Zip code 42285 has one elementary school, Kyrock Elementary, serving PK–4 and enrolling 334 students. In 2025–2026, its math and reading proficiency rates were above state rates in all four tested grade-and-subject results—the clearest overall finding for local families.

Kyrock is both the highest- and lowest-scoring school in this list by default, so there is no meaningful school-to-school comparison. It outperformed the state by 22 and 20 points in grade 3 and 4 math, and by 16 and 7 points in grade 3 and 4 reading. Its results were also above those of Edmonson County in three of the four comparisons; grade 4 reading was 3 points below the district. Attendance is a concern to watch: chronic absenteeism was 32%, compared with 28% in the district and 24% statewide. Because this is the only listed school, the data cannot support a meaningful local school-to-school comparison; grade 4 science is suppressed.

Scores have declined since 2024–2025, especially in reading: grade 3 reading fell 15 points, grade 4 reading fell 7, grade 3 math fell 8, and grade 4 math fell 3. Even so, the school remains above the state in each result. SchoolDigger ranked Kyrock 85th of 684 statewide in 2025–2026, in the 88th percentile with 4 stars, down from 33rd of 685 and 5 stars in 2024–2025. For context, the school reported 70% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025 and a student-teacher ratio of 14.3 that year.
