Summary:
The 40008 zip code in Kentucky is home to two schools: Bloomfield Middle School and Bloomfield Elementary School, both of which serve students in the Nelson County district. Unfortunately, the data suggests that these schools are performing below average compared to state and district standards across various metrics, including test scores, dropout rates, and chronic absenteeism.
Neither school stands out as a clear standout, with Bloomfield Middle School ranked 250 out of 320 Kentucky middle schools and Bloomfield Elementary School ranked 477 out of 685 Kentucky elementary schools. Both schools have significantly lower proficiency rates in subjects like math and reading compared to state and district averages. Additionally, the schools have high rates of chronic absenteeism, at 25.0% for both, and Bloomfield Middle School had a 1.1% dropout rate in the 2024-2025 school year.
The data also reveals that Bloomfield Elementary School serves a high-poverty student population, with a free/reduced lunch rate of 73.91% in 2023-2024. This suggests that the schools in the 40008 zip code may face additional challenges in supporting their students. While Bloomfield Elementary School has a higher spending per student ($19,910) compared to Bloomfield Middle School ($15,661), the overall performance of these schools indicates that more targeted interventions and support may be needed to improve student outcomes in this area.
