Summary:

The 40737 zip code is home to a single outstanding elementary school, Keavy Elementary School. This school has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in Laurel County and the state of Kentucky, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three years.

Keavy Elementary's academic performance is truly exceptional, with students significantly outperforming their peers in Laurel County and across Kentucky in subjects like mathematics, reading, science, and social studies. For example, 72% of Keavy's 3rd graders scored proficient or better in math, compared to just 67% in Laurel County and 43% statewide. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 18.8 may contribute to its strong academic outcomes.

While Keavy Elementary serves a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 68.09% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the school's higher-than-average spending per student of $12,799 appears to be paying dividends. Keavy's success suggests that with the right resources and strategies, schools can provide an excellent education to students from diverse backgrounds, setting them up for long-term academic and personal success.
