Summary:

ZIP code 40051 has one school, New Haven School, serving prekindergarten through grade 5, with 162 students; test results cover grades 3–5. Because it is the only school listed, there is no meaningful school-to-school comparison. The main takeaway is that results vary by subject: reading was below the state in all three tested grades, and grade 5 writing was especially weak.

The strongest results compared with Kentucky in 2025–2026 were grade 5 math, at 55% versus 43% statewide (12 points higher), and grade 4 science, at 41% versus 40% (1 point higher). The weakest result was grade 5 writing: 14%, compared with 35% statewide (21 points lower). Reading was also below the state in grades 3, 4 and 5: 31% versus 49%, 36% versus 50%, and 41% versus 51%, respectively. These differences show why a single overall impression can miss important grade- and subject-level variation.

Across the same seven test entries reported in both years, the school’s average rose from 33% in 2024–2025 to 39% in 2025–2026, a 6-point gain; the state average rose from 45% to 46%, and the school’s gap narrowed by 5 points. Improvement was uneven: grade 5 math rose 30 points and grade 4 science rose 23, while grade 4 math fell 18 points and grade 4 reading fell 14. SchoolDigger ranked the school 487th of 684 in 2025–2026, in the 29th percentile with 1 star, compared with 656th of 685, in the 4th percentile with 0 stars in 2023–2024. Other context: the student–teacher ratio was 10.8 in 2024–2025, and 74% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year; chronic absenteeism was 17% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 22% and the state’s 24%.
