Summary:

The 40165 zip code area in Kentucky is home to 4 elementary schools, serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. Based on the available data, Cedar Grove Elementary stands out as the top-performing school in the area, with strong academic outcomes across multiple subjects and grade levels.

Cedar Grove Elementary has the highest statewide ranking, placing 289th out of 685 Kentucky elementary schools, and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's 5th-grade students demonstrated the highest proficiency rates in Reading (66%), Math, Science, Writing, Social Studies, and Editing/Mechanics compared to the other schools in the 40165 zip code. In contrast, the remaining three schools - Freedom Elementary, Shepherdsville Elementary, and Roby Elementary - had proficiency rates ranging from 30% to 43% in 5th-grade Reading.

While the schools in the 40165 zip code share some common challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates (25%) and varying socioeconomic factors, the data suggests that Bullitt County school district, which oversees these elementary schools, may also be facing broader performance issues, as it is ranked 124th out of 157 districts in Kentucky and has an overall 1-star rating. Addressing these district-level challenges, as well as the individual school-level factors, could help improve the overall academic outcomes for students in the 40165 zip code area.
