Summary:
The 40347 zip code in Kentucky has only one public elementary school, Northside Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 380 students. The school is part of the Woodford County school district, which is ranked 24th out of 157 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Northside Elementary's performance is somewhat inconsistent, with test scores in various subjects and grade levels that are a mix of above and below the Woodford County and Kentucky state averages. For example, the school's 3rd grade math scores match the state average but fall below the county average, while its 5th grade reading scores exceed both the county and state averages. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 25%, which is higher than the state average and may be a contributing factor to its uneven academic performance.
The school serves a population with significant economic challenges, as indicated by the fact that 38.16% of its students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. However, the school's spending per student of $26,484 is higher than the national average, and it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.8, which may suggest smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for students. Overall, while Northside Elementary is part of a high-performing school district, its own academic outcomes are mixed, and the school may need to address its chronic absenteeism and economic challenges to improve student success.
