Summary:

The 40379 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Stamping Ground Elementary School, which serves grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 426 students. The school is part of the Scott County School District, which is ranked 73 out of 157 districts in Kentucky and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Stamping Ground Elementary School appears to be a relatively strong-performing school within its district and the state of Kentucky. The school has ranked in the top 30% of Kentucky elementary schools for the past three school years, with a ranking of 197 out of 685 schools in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school's proficiency rates on the Kentucky State Assessments (KSA) are generally higher than the district and state averages, particularly in reading and writing. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.5 to 1, which is favorable for providing individualized attention to students.

However, the school does face some challenges, such as a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 25.0% in the 2024-2025 school year. Additionally, 36.15% of Stamping Ground Elementary students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year, indicating a moderate level of economic disadvantage. Despite these challenges, the school's per-student spending of $22,520 for the 2023-2024 school year is significantly higher than the state average, which may indicate a focus on providing additional resources and support for students.
