Summary:

Schools in ZIP code 40324 comprise 13 listed schools—seven elementary, three middle and three high—in the Scott County district; Phoenix Horizon Community serves grades 6–12, and the supplied summary lists 14 schools although the school list has 13. The most important finding is that results vary sharply from school to school: same-grade gaps reach 53 points in elementary writing and 43 points in middle-school writing.

Scott County Middle School and Eastern Elementary School are the clearest standouts. Scott County Middle leads its group in seven of 10 latest reported subject results, including grade 8 writing at 81%, compared with 38% at Georgetown Middle School. Eastern leads several grade 5 results, with 78% in editing and mechanics versus 28% at Southern Elementary School; Southern is below the state in all 10 of its latest reported results and scores 6% in grade 5 writing versus 35% statewide. Northern Elementary School also stands out in grade 3, with 65% in math and 71% in reading. At high school, Great Crossing High School leads in grade 11 science, while Scott County High School leads in writing.

Across matched test results, schools moved about one point per result closer to state results from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, but changes differed: Northern averaged gains of about eight points, while Georgetown Middle, Anne Mason Elementary School and Southern averaged declines of about five to six points. SchoolDigger’s average statewide percentile ranking rose about five points over two years, though individual school trends varied. Other measures offer context, not explanations: among elementary schools reporting free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–2025, shares ranged from 41% at Lemons Mill Elementary School to 71% at Garth Elementary School; Western Elementary School and Eastern instead report directly certified for free meals. Georgetown Middle’s 13.9 student–teacher ratio is lower than Scott County Middle’s 17.1, despite its weaker test results. Both high schools have strong subject results but chronic absenteeism of about 29%, above the state’s 24%.
