Summary:
The 40228 zip code in Kentucky is home to a single high school, Marion C. Moore School, which serves students in grades 9-12. Based on the available data, this school is a low-performing institution, ranking 247 out of 254 Kentucky high schools for the 2024-2025 school year and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Marion C. Moore School faces several challenges, including significantly below-average test scores across all subject areas and grade levels compared to the Jefferson County and state averages. For example, in 10th-grade math, only 10% of students scored proficient or better, compared to 30% in Jefferson County and 41% statewide. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.0%, which may contribute to its academic struggles.
Despite these challenges, the school maintains a relatively high graduation rate of 93.5% and a low dropout rate of 1.1%, suggesting that it is able to keep students engaged and on track to graduate, even if they are not achieving proficiency on state assessments. The school also spends $22,955 per student, which is higher than the state average, and has a student-teacher ratio of 14.5, slightly lower than the state average. However, these investments do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the students.
