Summary:

The 40940 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, Frakes School Center, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 115 students. As the only elementary school in this region, Frakes School Center plays a crucial role in the educational landscape of the community.

Frakes School Center is part of the Bell County school district, which is ranked 35 out of 157 districts in Kentucky and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with strengths in reading but weaknesses in writing. While 5th and 6th-grade students at Frakes School Center have outperformed the county and state averages in reading, the school's 5th-grade students have underperformed in writing compared to their peers. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from a 1-star rating in 2021-2022 to a 3-star rating in 2024-2025.

Frakes School Center faces several challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.0% and a significant percentage of students (84.35%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. However, the school's per-student spending is significantly higher than the state average, and it maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.1 to 1. These factors suggest that the school is working to address the unique needs of its students and provide them with the resources and support they require to succeed.
