Summary:

The 40336 zip code area is home to two high schools: Estill County High School and Estill County Success Academy. While Estill County High School has a relatively large student population of 647, Estill County Success Academy is much smaller with only 38 students. Both schools have a graduation rate of 93.5%, which is above the state average, but they face challenges in academic performance and student engagement.

Estill County High School is ranked 176 out of 254 Kentucky high schools and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments and ACT exams are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in subjects like Mathematics, Science, and Writing. Additionally, the school has a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 25.0%. In contrast, Estill County Success Academy has no statewide ranking or rating information available, but its 10th-grade Reading proficiency rate of 12% is significantly lower than the state average of 47%.

Both schools serve a high-poverty student population, with 64.14% of Estill County High School students and 100% of Estill County Success Academy students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The lower per-student spending and relatively low student-teacher ratio at Estill County High School may be contributing factors to the school's academic performance challenges, while the high student-teacher ratio at Estill County Success Academy could limit the level of individualized attention and support available to students.
