Summary:

The 40219 zip code area of Louisville, Kentucky is home to 7 elementary schools that are part of the Jefferson County school district, which is ranked 140 out of 157 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The data reveals a group of low-performing elementary schools serving a disadvantaged student population, with significant performance gaps compared to county and state averages.

Among the schools, Okolona Elementary stands out as the top performer, with the highest proficiency rates in math and reading in 2024-2025. Slaughter Elementary also had some bright spots, including strong 5th grade performance in math, reading, and writing.
