The school is part of the Greenup County School District, which is ranked 130 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Argillite Elementary School does not appear to be a standout school, as it has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools over the past three years, with a statewide ranking between 575 and 607 out of around 685 schools.

Additionally, Argillite Elementary School has a high free and reduced lunch rate of 72.68%, suggesting a population with significant economic challenges. The school's spending per student of $12,355 for the 2018-2019 school year may indicate that resources are not being effectively allocated to improve student outcomes, despite the relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.6 to 1 in the 2022-2023 school year. Overall, the data suggests that Argillite Elementary School is a struggling school within the Greenup County School District, with consistently low academic performance and potential resource allocation concerns.
