Elementary Schools in Martin County

The elementary schools in Martin County, Kentucky serve students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The data reveals a mix of performance levels, with Eden Elementary School standing out as the highest-performing of the three schools analyzed.

Eden Elementary School ranks 375 out of 685 Kentucky elementary schools, the highest ranking among the Martin County schools. It achieves the best proficiency rates in several subject areas, including 59% proficient in 6th grade reading and 48% proficient in 6th grade math. In contrast, Warfield Elementary School and Inez Elementary School have proficiency rates that are often 10-20 percentage points below the state averages.

The data also reveals high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across all three schools, ranging from 63.6% at Inez Elementary to 82.24% at Warfield Elementary. This suggests the schools are serving economically disadvantaged communities, which likely contributes to the performance disparities observed. While funding and resources appear adequate, with spending per student above the state average, targeted interventions and support may be needed to address the socioeconomic challenges and improve academic outcomes for all students in the Martin County elementary school district.
