Original Research by School Decision on Eubank Elementary School
Eubank Elementary School serves roughly three hundred students from prekindergarten through fifth grade in the small, rural crossroads community of Eubank, which straddles Pulaski and Lincoln counties in southern Kentucky. The town itself is a very small home rule-class city concentrated around the intersection of two state routes, with U.S. Route 27 running along its eastern border. Publicly reported sources describe Eubank as having seen relatively stable population levels with a slight decline over recent decades, and no major new housing or development projects were identified in search results. The school is part of Pulaski County Schools, and students from the Pulaski County portion of Eubank later attend Northern Middle School and Pulaski County High School, both located outside the town. A portion of Eubank is also served by the Science Hill Independent School District, meaning district assignment varies within the community.
The student body is predominantly white, with small shares of Hispanic students and students of two or more races. A substantial majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting the economic context of the area. Housing values in the ZIP code are below both the state and national benchmarks. The school operates as a regular public school and is open to all students in its attendance area.
State assessment results for the school year ending in 2025 show a mixed pattern across grades and subjects. In third-grade reading and math, slightly more than half of students scored at or above the proficient level, which is a solid outcome for that grade. By fourth grade, the share of students meeting proficiency dropped to below half in reading and to about a third in math, and fourth-grade science results were similarly soft. Fifth-grade results were stronger: in both reading and math, a majority of students scored proficient or above, and the same was true for fifth-grade social studies. When the school’s overall proficiency across all tested grades and subjects is grouped together and compared against other districts in Pulaski County, Eubank Elementary sits in the bottom quartile. That comparison set includes only three districts, so the field is small and the spread between the highest and lowest is narrow, but the school's composite is the lowest of the three.
A parent looking at these results will see that the school’s strongest performance comes in the upper elementary grades, particularly fifth grade, where proficiency reaches a notably high level in both reading and math. The weaker performance in fourth grade, especially in math and science, and the dip in third-grade math are areas where a family might want to ask the school about instructional supports and curriculum alignment. The school serves a high-poverty population, and the proficiency pattern is one that often correlates with the challenges that come with that context.
No data on teacher staffing, class sizes, discipline rates, or chronic absenteeism was available in the provided materials, so those dimensions of the school environment cannot be assessed here. The school itself is located within the community, and the town's civic anchors consist chiefly of city hall and the highway corridor; no dedicated parks or library were identified in search results. For families considering Eubank Elementary, the picture is of a small, rural elementary school serving a high-needs student body, with academic results that are strongest at the top of the elementary grades but softer in the middle years, and with the understanding that middle and high school will take students outside the immediate community.
