Summary:

The 40511 zip code area of Lexington, Kentucky is home to 5 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the schools in this area show a wide range of academic performance, a few standouts emerge, including Meadowthorpe Elementary School and Rise STEM Academy for Girls.

Meadowthorpe Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Fayette County, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and strong test scores, with 55-83% of students proficient or better in core subjects. In contrast, Coventry Oak Elementary and Russell Cave Elementary lag behind, with significantly lower test scores and rankings.

The data also reveals a concerning trend of high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25% across all 5 schools. Additionally, the schools with the highest rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, such as Coventry Oak and Russell Cave, also have the lowest test scores and rankings, raising questions about equity in educational opportunities and outcomes in the 40511 zip code area.
