Custer Elementary School's performance on the Kentucky State Assessments (KSA) is generally below the Breckinridge County and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 5th grade Mathematics, Custer Elementary School had only 20% of students proficient or better, compared to 39% for Breckinridge County and 41% for the state.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending ($18,299) and low student-teacher ratio (15.3), the data suggests that Custer Elementary School is facing significant challenges in supporting the academic achievement of its students. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (47.93%) indicates that the student population faces significant economic challenges, which can impact academic performance. Additionally, the school's declining statewide ranking over the past three years, from 302 out of 684 Kentucky elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 418 out of 685 in 2023-2024, is a concerning trend that warrants further investigation.
