Summary:

ZIP code 40241 has three elementary schools in Jefferson County: Chancey Elementary serves pre-K through grade 5, while Norton Elementary and Zachary Taylor Elementary serve kindergarten through grade 5. The 2025–2026 results show a wide divide between schools: Norton is far ahead on nearly every reported test, while Chancey and Taylor are usually below Kentucky results.

Norton is the clear achievement leader, with the highest score in every subject-and-grade comparison where all three schools have a result; SchoolDigger ranks it 2nd of 684 Kentucky elementary schools. Its grade 5 math score was 84%, compared with 24% at Chancey, 30% at Taylor and 43% statewide. In grade 4 science, Norton scored 64%, versus 26% at Chancey, 14% at Taylor and 40% statewide. Chancey and Taylor have mixed results: Taylor leads Chancey in grade 5 social studies (39% to 20%), while Chancey leads Taylor in grade 5 reading (43% to 41%). Taylor’s grade 3 math and grade 5 writing scores are suppressed, so they are unknown.

All three schools improved their average position relative to the state on tests with results in both years from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: by 4 points at Norton, 5 at Chancey and 2 at Taylor. SchoolDigger rankings also rose from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026: Norton moved from 5th to 2nd, Chancey from 606th to 565th and Taylor from 645th to 561st. Context differs, too: 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible figures were 23% at Norton, 61% at Chancey and 68% at Taylor; student-teacher ratios were 16.0, 13.3 and 11.1, respectively. These measures describe school differences but do not explain test results.
