Summary:
Zip code 40379 has one listed school, Stamping Ground Elementary School, serving kindergarten through grade 5, with 418 students enrolled. Its 2025–2026 results show proficiency above the state in 8 of 10 tested grade-subject areas. The clearest standout is fifth-grade math: 64% proficient, compared with 43% statewide, a 21-point advantage.
Because it is the only school in the ZIP-code list, Stamping Ground Elementary is both the highest- and lowest-ranked school in this local set, but that is not a meaningful school-to-school comparison. Against state results, its strongest areas include fifth-grade social studies (54% proficient versus 38%), fourth-grade science (55% versus 40%), and fifth-grade reading (66% versus 51%). Third grade is the relative weak spot: both math and reading were 1 point below the state, at 42% versus 43% and 48% versus 49%, respectively. Chronic absenteeism was 12%, lower than the 21% in Scott County and 24% statewide.
Results improved overall compared with the prior year, but not in every subject. Across the 10 comparable results, the school average rose from 52% in 2024–2025 to 54% in 2025–2026, and its average margin over the state widened from 8 to 10 points; however, third-grade reading fell 10 points and fifth-grade writing fell 11, while fifth-grade math rose 21 points. SchoolDigger ranked the school 174th of 684 in 2025–2026, in the 75th percentile with four stars, up from 197th of 685 and the 71st percentile the year before, but below its 110th-place, 84th-percentile position in 2023–2024. The reported student-teacher ratio was 14.1 in 2024–2025, and 32% of students were directly certified for free meals that year; these are useful context, not explanations for test results.
