Summary:
Zip code 40013 has one school, Coxs Creek Elementary School, serving kindergarten through fifth grade, with 474 students and a 13.1 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025. Because it is the only school in the area list, there are no local school-to-school rankings. Its most important takeaway is a sharply varied academic profile: third-grade math and reading are strengths relative to Kentucky, while fifth-grade writing is the clearest concern.
Coxs Creek is both the area’s top and bottom school by default, so the clearest comparisons are with the state and Nelson County. In 2025–2026, third-grade math and reading were each 57% proficient, 14 percentage points above Kentucky in math and 8 points above in reading. The largest shortfall was fifth-grade writing: 16%, compared with 35% statewide and 22% in the district. Fifth-grade editing and mechanics was a relative bright spot at 52%, 4 points above the state. Other results were mixed, including fifth-grade math at 29%, 14 points below Kentucky.
Recent results show some improvement but also important grade-to-grade differences. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, fourth-grade math rose 12 points, from 36% to 48%, while fifth-grade math fell 12 points, from 41% to 29%; the simple average across reported tests rose from 38% to 39%. SchoolDigger’s statewide elementary-school ranking also improved, moving from 443rd of 685 schools (35th percentile) in 2023–2024 to 370th of 684 (46th percentile) in 2025–2026. As context, 48% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025.
