Best Public Schools in Zip Code 40390

The 40390 zip code area is home to two schools - Wilmore Elementary School and The Providence School, which serve students from elementary through high school. While Wilmore Elementary consistently ranks among the top schools in the state, The Providence School has struggled academically, highlighting the potential for disparities in educational outcomes within the same geographic area.

Wilmore Elementary School is a standout institution, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and test scores that exceed the county and state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. In contrast, The Providence School, a public high school, has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Kentucky high schools and received low 1-star and 0-star ratings from SchoolDigger, with test scores significantly below the county and state averages.

The data suggests that socioeconomic factors, such as the high free/reduced lunch rates at both schools, may be contributing to the performance differences. Additionally, the Jessamine County school district, which both schools belong to, is ranked 51 out of 157 districts in Kentucky and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating that district-level performance may also be a factor in the individual school outcomes.
