Summary:
The 40243 zip code area of Louisville, Kentucky is home to 4 schools - 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school - all part of the Jefferson County school district. While the district as a whole is ranked 140 out of 157 districts in Kentucky and has a 1-star rating, a few schools in the 40243 area stand out.
Hite Elementary and Crosby Middle are the top-performing schools in the area, with 3-star ratings from SchoolDigger and consistently higher test scores in math, reading, and other subjects compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, Eastern High and Middletown Elementary have more mixed results, with some subject areas performing above the district and state, while others are below.
A concerning trend across all the schools in the 40243 zip code is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.0%, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the relatively high spending per student, ranging from $18,788 to $20,585, raises questions about the effective allocation of resources and the need for a closer examination of how the funds are being utilized to improve academic performance in the area.
