Schools in Zip Code 40475

Zip code 40475 includes 13 schools—seven elementary, three middle and three high—serving students from kindergarten through high school in the Madison County district. Across the 96 reported 2025–26 subject-and-grade results from 10 schools, proficiency averaged 8 points above matching Kentucky state results; reading and writing led by 11 points each, while math led by 5. The clearest takeaway is that results are generally above state benchmarks, but vary substantially by school and subject.

Boonesborough Elementary and B. Michael Caudill Middle School had the strongest broad results in their grade bands, averaging 18 and 17 points above state benchmarks, respectively. At the other end, Daniel Boone Elementary averaged 1 point below the state; its Grade 3 math result was 28%, compared with 43% statewide. White Hall Elementary averaged 5 points above the state overall, but Grade 5 writing was 25%, versus 35% statewide. Among middle schools, Clark Moores averaged 11 points above the state, compared with 8 points at Madison Middle. Madison Central High School was above the state in all six reported comparisons, averaging 8 points above.

Overall performance relative to the state was essentially unchanged across the two most recent years of matched results, though individual schools shifted: Caudill improved its average benchmark gap by 3 points, while Kirksville Elementary fell by 6. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for Madison Middle rose from the 55th in 2023–24 to the 75th in 2025–26. As context, the schools’ reported free/reduced lunch eligible figures for school year 2024–25 were 39% at Boonesborough, 64% at Kirksville and 66% at Daniel Boone; these figures do not explain the differences in results. Attendance is another consideration: chronic absenteeism was 15% at Boonesborough and 31% at Madison Central, compared with 24% statewide.
