Summary:
The 40447 zip code area in Kentucky is home to 3 schools serving grades K-12: Jackson County High School, McKee Elementary School, and Jackson County Middle School. These schools operate within the Jackson County school district and serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population.
Of the three schools, McKee Elementary stands out as the highest performer, consistently ranking among the top 30-58 elementary schools in Kentucky over the past 3 years and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has significantly higher proficiency rates than the county and state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. In contrast, Jackson County Middle School appears to be the weakest performer, ranking in the bottom 265-283 out of 320-327 middle schools in the state with only a 1-star rating and struggling with low proficiency rates, especially in math and science.
Jackson County High School falls somewhere in the middle, ranking 52-92 out of 254-290 high schools in the state with a 4-star rating and a relatively high 93.5% 4-year graduation rate. However, its test scores are more mixed, with some subjects above the county and state averages and others below. Across all three schools, high chronic absenteeism rates around 25% are a concern that may need to be addressed.
