Summary:
The 40229 zip code area is home to 5 elementary schools serving students in grades K-5: Laukhuf Elementary, Wilt Elementary, Blue Lick Elementary, Overdale Elementary School, and Maryville Elementary School. These schools serve economically disadvantaged populations, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 51.52% to 72.65%.
Among the schools, Wilt Elementary stands out as the top performer, ranking 311 out of 685 Jefferson County elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Wilt has strong test scores, with over 50% of students proficient in math, reading, and science, as well as lower chronic absenteeism and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to the other schools. Overdale Elementary School also performs relatively well, ranking 410 out of 685 and earning a 2-star rating, with solid test scores and a lower student-teacher ratio.
In contrast, Maryville Elementary School struggles the most, with only 15-30% of students proficient in core subjects. All 5 schools have high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.0% to 25.0%, which likely contributes to the low academic achievement seen at some of the schools. Addressing attendance and engagement should be a priority for these schools serving economically disadvantaged communities in the Bullitt County and Jefferson County districts.
