Summary:
The 40484 zip code area in Kentucky is home to 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one traditional and one virtual). While the schools face challenges common to high-poverty areas, such as high chronic absenteeism rates, a few standout performers emerge from the data.
Patriot Academy, a virtual high school, boasts an impressive 93.5% four-year graduation rate, on par with Lincoln County High School. Despite serving a high-needs population, with 86.67% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Patriot Academy maintains a very low student-teacher ratio of 5:1. Meanwhile, Stanford Elementary School stands out for its relatively strong performance in 5th grade reading and writing, outpacing the Lincoln County and state averages.
However, the data also reveals areas for improvement across the schools. Chronic absenteeism rates are high, ranging from 25.0% to 25.0%, and student performance on state math assessments, particularly at the middle school level, lags behind state benchmarks. The significant percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, from 60.92% at Lincoln County High School to 86.67% at Patriot Academy, highlights the socioeconomic challenges faced by these schools and the need for additional resources and support.
