Summary:
The 40117 zip code area in Kentucky is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (Flaherty Primary School and Ekron Elementary School) and 1 middle school (Flaherty Elementary School). These schools serve the Meade County district and demonstrate varying levels of academic performance.
Ekron Elementary School stands out as a top performer, ranking 118 out of 685 Kentucky elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently achieves 60-68% proficiency rates in reading and math, outpacing both the Meade County and Kentucky state averages. In contrast, while Flaherty Primary School also performs above the state average, its 45-54% proficiency rates in 3rd-grade math and reading are slightly lower than the Meade County district average.
Across all 3 schools, chronic absenteeism rates are high, ranging from 25.0%. Additionally, the schools serve a relatively low-income student population, with free/reduced lunch rates between 52.12% and 63.75%. While per-student spending and student-teacher ratios are similar across the schools, the performance gap between Ekron Elementary and the other two schools may indicate equity concerns that warrant further investigation.
