About Farmington Elementary School

Farmington Elementary School serves 283 students in pre-kindergarten through sixth grade in Mayfield, Kentucky. It earns a composite score of 9.3 out of 10 — rated Exceptional — built on a perfect 10.0 academic score and a 9.7 growth score. Those numbers rank it fourth among 1,284 public schools in Kentucky, placing it ahead of every other school in the state by percentile.

The student-teacher ratio sits at 13.5 to 1, which keeps class sizes manageable and positions teachers to deliver more direct instruction time per student.

Families searching for a public elementary school that produces measurable results will find very few better options anywhere in the state.
