I LOVE Rineyville Elementary. My daughter is in first grade now. She had the most loving, caring Kindergarten teacher last year (Mrs. Blanc). Mrs. Blanc made my daughter's first year in school a wonderful, unforgettable one. She loved and cared for her students immensely. And now she's in first grade, and her teacher this year has been wonderful as well. I could not be happier with this school. The Principal knows every student by name, and he always talks to me whenever I see him. Last year on the last day of school, the principal and all of the teachers stood out on the sidewalk and waved at all of the students as they left on the buses for summer break. They really do care about their students at this school.

I LOVE Rineyville Elementary. My daughter is in Kindergarten and her teacher is amazing. We love the principal and vice principal, in fact I haven't met a single staff member who hasn't greeted me with a smile and positive attitude! There ae regular events at the school that help to bring the community together and makes the school feel like a family. I'm so happy with RES.

I have had an over great experience with this school so far. This is my daughters 3rd year there and although she wasnt happy with the first two years in the preschool program but she is very happy with the kindergarden class she has now! I am very impressed with the compassion and attention that mr coffee principal has toward his students and their families! There is also a great community involvement there and a great sense of pride in the school and children!

My son has attended Rineyville Elementary for 3 years, K-2. I cannot say how impressed I have been with all of his teachers, the guidance counselor and the principal. He has ADHD and they have all been extremely accomodating and supportive. Because of this he is very successful despite many challenging days. All schools should be this helpful.

Rineyville Elementary is an amazing school. We have had two children that have attended here. Our son went from 2nd - 5th and our daughter has gone from K - 5th. All of the staff is active in the children's lives and shows great care and concern for them with their learning and personal lives. The encouragment and support that they receive is the best that I have ever seen in a school. The principal has done an outstanding job. It is located in a fairly small town but this is great because you really get that person relationship with everyone there. I grew up in Hardin County School and am fully aware of every one of them. This is by far the best elementary school in the district.

My children have attended this school for three years. The Principal knows every students name, parents, he is very involved. My children have blossomed here. They are challenged, and the teachers are very involved and approachable.

My wife and myself have volunteered in Louisville schools for over 12 years, and we can not get this school to use our service. We have no children left in school, but we love to volunteer. I wish they excepted outsiders help more.

My child attended this school for K-5. We then moved to another state where she is currently in her senior year of high school. She is an outstanding student who has continuously earned outstanding scores on both school and national tests. Her foundation at Rineyville provided her with the tools she needed to excel.

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Kentucky used the Kentucky Core Content Tests (KCCT) to assess students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 through 12 in reading, social studies, science, writing, and math. The Elementary School results displayed on GreatSchools profiles are for grades 3 through 5 combined for each subject. Middle School results are for grades 6 though 8 combined, and High School results are for grades 10 though 12 combined. The KCCT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Kentucky.
