Summary:
The 40057 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Eastern Elementary School, which serves grades K-5 with 174 students. The school is part of the Henry County school district, which is ranked 108 out of 157 districts in Kentucky and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Eastern Elementary School's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating from 146 out of 687 Kentucky elementary schools (4-star rating) in 2022-2023 to 358 out of 685 (2-star rating) in 2023-2024. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments (KSA) vary across different subject areas and grade levels, with some areas exceeding the Henry County and Kentucky averages, while others fall below. The school serves a population with a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (53.45% in 2023-2024), which may contribute to the challenges it faces.
Despite the school's inconsistent performance, it does have some strengths, including a relatively high per-student spending of $17,646 and a low student-teacher ratio of 13.9 to 1. However, these resources have not yet translated into sustained improvements in academic achievement across all subject areas and grade levels. The school's leadership and the Henry County district will need to identify and address the specific areas where the school is struggling in order to help it reach its full potential.
