Schools in Zip Code 40057

Zip code 40057 has one listed school, Eastern Elementary School, serving K–5 with 189 students, so there is no second school in the list for a local comparison. The most important finding is that Eastern’s nine matched grade-and-subject results averaged 47% in 2024–2025 and 38% in 2025–2026, a decline of 9 percentage points; its average shifted from 3 points above the state comparison to 6 points below it.

Eastern’s strongest current results are in fourth grade: reading was 79%, 29 points above the state’s 50%, and math was 64%, 21 points above the state’s 43%. Its weakest reported current result was fifth-grade social studies at 17%, 21 points below the state’s 38%. Fifth-grade reading and math were also below state results: both were 26%, compared with 51% in reading and 43% in math. These contrasts show why the school-wide averages do not tell the full story for a child entering a particular grade.

Results changed sharply by grade and subject rather than improving or declining uniformly. Fourth-grade reading rose 40 points, from 39% to 79%, and fourth-grade math rose 27 points, from 37% to 64%; in contrast, third-grade math fell 38 points, fifth-grade reading fell 25 points, and social studies fell 27 points. SchoolDigger’s ranking also declined, from the 51st percentile and three stars in 2024–2025 to the 33rd percentile and two stars in 2025–2026. As context, the school’s student-teacher ratio was 13:1 and 57% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; chronic absenteeism was 16% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 18% and the state’s 24%. These figures describe the school but do not explain its results.
