Summary:
ZIP code 40206 has eight schools: four elementary schools, one middle school and three alternative schools, with state test results available for four schools in broad detail and one reportable result for an alternative school. The clearest overall pattern is a wide spread in results: Barret Traditional Middle and Field Elementary are above matched state averages, while Lincoln Elementary Performing Arts and especially Breckinridge-Franklin Elementary are below. The most important takeaway is that the ZIP code does not have one shared academic profile; reported results differ substantially by school.
Barret is the strongest overall in the reported middle-school results, averaging 58% proficient against a matched state average of 42%, or 16 points higher; it was above the state in every reported subject and grade. Field leads the tested elementary schools in all six subject averages, at 49% versus 44% for the matched state, and was above the state in math, reading and science. At the bottom, Breckinridge-Franklin averaged 25%, 19 points below its matched state average of 44%, and was below the state in every subject. Lincoln averaged 33%, 11 points below the state. The gap between Barret and Breckinridge-Franklin was 33 points, though they serve different grade spans.
Results moved in different directions from 2024–25 to 2025–26: Field’s average fell 4 points, Lincoln’s rose 4, Barret’s rose 2, and Breckinridge-Franklin’s was unchanged. SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings also separate them: Barret is at the 91st percentile, Field at the 63rd, Lincoln at the 23rd and Breckinridge-Franklin at the 8th in 2025–26. As context, Field reported 40% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25 and a 17.6:1 student–teacher ratio; Breckinridge-Franklin reported 79% eligible and a 12.4:1 ratio. Home of the Innocents School’s one comparable result, tenth-grade reading, rose 19 points from 21% to 40%, but remained below the state’s 49%; other alternative-school results are suppressed or not provided.
