Summary:

Zip code 40069 has three Washington County public schools: an elementary school serving PK–5, a middle school serving grades 6–8, and a high school serving grades 9–12, with enrollments from 214 to 507 students. Their 2025–2026 results differ notably by school and subject, rather than showing a single pattern across the area. Most important, the middle school had the strongest overall state-relative test profile, outperforming grade-matched state averages in five of six subjects.

The middle school stands out at the top: its average results were 15 percentage points above the state in math, 10 points above in science, 5 above in reading, and 4 above in writing; social studies was 8 points below. The high school has the sharpest subject split, with 11th-grade writing 13 points above the state but 10th-grade reading 17 points below. It was also below state averages in math and social studies. The elementary school was mixed: fourth-grade science was 2 points above the state, while its average social studies result was 14 points below. SchoolDigger rated the middle school 3 stars (69th percentile), the elementary school 1 star (30th percentile), and the high school 2 stars (37th percentile).

Recent trends favor the middle school: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, its results improved 6 percentage points relative to the state on average, while the elementary school moved 3 points farther below and the high school fell 7 points relative to the state. SchoolDigger rankings also rose for the middle school, from the 35th to the 69th percentile, but fell for the elementary school (45th to 30th) and high school (79th to 37th). For context, all three reported free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–2025: 64% at the middle school, 67% at the elementary school, and 51% at the high school. The middle school is smallest and has a student-teacher ratio of 16; the elementary school’s ratio is 18.1 and the high school’s is 17.2. The high school’s graduation rate was 98%, compared with 94% statewide, while elementary chronic absenteeism was 15%, below the state’s 24%.
