Pine Knot Intermediate has shown steady improvement in its statewide ranking over the past three years, moving from 297th out of 684 Kentucky elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 144th out of 685 in 2023-2024. The school's performance on the Kentucky State Assessments (KSA) is generally above the county and state averages, particularly in mathematics and reading, with proficiency rates ranging from 45% to 66% across the grade levels. However, the school's performance in other subject areas, such as science, writing, and social studies, is more mixed, with some grades performing above and others below the county and state averages.

Despite the school's academic progress, it faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with 85.45% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. However, the school appears to be well-resourced, with a per-student spending of $10,644 in the 2018-2019 school year and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.6 in the 2022-2023 school year. These factors may contribute to the school's academic performance, particularly in the core subjects of mathematics and reading.
