Summary:
Payneville, Kentucky is home to a single elementary school, Payneville Elementary School, which serves students from prekindergarten through 6th grade. Despite serving a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with over 54% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Payneville Elementary has consistently performed above the state and Meade County averages on the Kentucky State Assessments (KSA) in subjects like Mathematics and Reading.
Payneville Elementary's academic performance has been steadily improving, with the school's statewide ranking climbing from #296 out of 684 Kentucky elementary schools in 2021-2022 to #142 out of 685 in 2023-2024. This progress is reflected in the school's proficiency rates, which often exceed state and county benchmarks. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 54% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in Math, compared to 43% statewide, and 64% of 6th graders were proficient or better in Reading, compared to 49% across Kentucky.
The school's success may be attributed, in part, to its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.9 students per teacher, which allows for more individualized attention and support for students. Additionally, Payneville Elementary's per-student spending of $15,143 in the 2018-2019 school year suggests the school is effectively allocating resources to support its students' academic growth and achievement.
