Schools in Zip Code 40213

ZIP code 40213 has six schools—two K–5 elementary schools, three high schools, and one alternative school—with enrollment ranging from 16 to 1,763 and offerings for elementary, middle- and high-school students. Results and attendance vary widely, so the most useful comparisons are between schools serving the same grades. The clearest overall finding is that the two elementary schools’ average proficiency was 23% across matched 2025 tests, compared with 44% statewide.

Camp Taylor Elementary stands out against Indian Trail Elementary: it led in 7 of 10 matched tests, averaging 27% proficiency versus 20%, though both were well below the state average. Louisville Male High has the strongest available high-school results relative to the state, including grade 11 writing at 54% versus 47% statewide. W.E.B. DuBois Academy is close to the state in grade 7 reading (49% versus 50%) but much lower in grade 8 writing (19% versus 48%). SchoolDigger ranks Indian Trail 654th of 684 schools (4th percentile) and Camp Taylor 597th of 684 (13th percentile). Attendance is another concern: Binet School and Mary Ryan Academy report chronic absenteeism of 52% and 61%, respectively, compared with 24% statewide.

Results have improved modestly overall at the elementary level, but changes differ by school: the two-school average rose from 21% in 2024–2025 to 23% in 2025–2026; Indian Trail’s average increased by 6 percentage points, while Camp Taylor’s fell by 1 point. Male’s average across six comparable subjects fell from 45% to 38%, while its SchoolDigger ranking moved from the 85th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 46th in 2025–2026. School context may help families compare, but does not explain results: in 2024–2025, Camp Taylor had 367 students, an 11.4 student-teacher ratio, and 72% free/reduced lunch eligible; Indian Trail had 649 students, a 17.8 ratio, and 73% free/reduced lunch eligible.
