Schools in Zip Code 40160

ZIP code 40160 has seven schools: four elementary schools, one middle school, one high school and one alternative school, with enrollment ranging from 63 to 1,593 students. The overall picture varies sharply by school level: the three scored elementary schools averaged 31% proficiency across reported results, versus 44% for matching state results, and North Middle School averaged 25% versus 44%; by contrast, North Hardin High School was above the state in four of six subjects. The most important finding is that achievement differs substantially across schools and grade levels, rather than showing one consistent profile across the ZIP code.

Among the scored elementary schools, Meadow View Elementary School stands out: it had the highest math results in grades 3, 4 and 5, at 32%, 37% and 37%, and led reading in grades 3 and 4. Its math results were higher than Radcliff Elementary School’s in all three grades; Radcliff had the lowest math scores, at 13%, 24% and 29%. Woodland Elementary School was a bright spot in grade 5 reading, with 49% proficient—16 points above Meadow View, though 2 points below the state. North Hardin was 3–4 points above the state in math, writing, social studies, and editing and mechanics; North Middle’s math results were 15%–21%, versus 39%–42% statewide.

Recent changes were mixed: the average elementary gap from the state widened by about 2 points, and North Middle’s by about 5 points, while North Hardin’s relative position changed little. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 rankings put North Middle at the 6th percentile, Radcliff at the 10th, Woodland at the 20th and Meadow View at the 22nd; North Hardin was at the 60th percentile. Across the three scored elementary schools, 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible measures were similar—69%–72%—and student-teacher ratios ranged from 13.7 to 14.7, so these figures do not distinguish Meadow View from its peers clearly. North Park Elementary School and Lincoln Trail Behavioral Health Systems have no KSA scores in the supplied data, so they cannot be compared on achievement here.
