Education
Students in Reedyville attend Butler County Schools in Morgantown, including Butler County Middle and high schools. Since early 2005, the closest elementary school to the community is North Butler Elementary, located along KY 70 about halfway between Aberdeen and Jetson. Elementary students previously attended Fourth District Elementary School, which was based in Jetson. It, along with Fifth District Elementary in Welcome, consolidated to establish North Butler Elementary in the fall of 2005. Temple Hill General Baptist Church purchased the old Fourth District building in 2007 and has converted to a church.
