Summary:
Zip code 40109 has one elementary school, Brooks Elementary School, serving prekindergarten through grade 5, so families have no other elementary school in this list to compare it with. Its strongest current subject area is reading, but every reported 2025–26 result is below Kentucky’s state result; the most important finding is a 24-point gap in grade 5 writing, where 11% of students were proficient compared with 35% statewide.
There is no local top-versus-bottom ranking: Brooks is both the only school and the sole standout. Its reading results were 8–17 points below the state by grade, with grade 5 closest at 43% versus 51%. Math was farther behind, with grade 3 at 21% versus 43% and grade 5 at 20% versus 43%; grade 5 social studies and editing and mechanics were each 18 points below the state. The school was also below Bullitt County in every reported subject-grade comparison. Some results are suppressed, and a one-school list cannot show how other local schools compare; year-to-year results also reflect different grade-level cohorts.
Reading improved overall in the latest year shown, though not in every grade: grade 3 rose 11 points, grade 5 rose 22 points, and grade 4 slipped 1 point. The average reading gap with the state narrowed by about 10 points; grade 3 math and grade 5 editing also moved closer to state results, while grade 5 social studies fell 4 points and its gap widened. SchoolDigger ranked Brooks 613 of 684 schools, in the 10th percentile with 1 star in 2025–26, improving from rank 635, the 7th percentile and 0 stars the prior year.
