Summary:

ZIP code 41014 has five schools—two elementary schools, one middle school and two high schools—with 2,339 students in all. The latest KSA results show a broad achievement challenge: only five of 36 reported school-grade-subject scores are above the matching state results, and the average school result is 13 percentage points below state. The largest subject gaps are in editing and mechanics, 21 points below state on average, and writing, 20 points below. The most important concern is that proficiency is generally below state levels, especially in those two subjects.

Glenn O Swing Elementary is the strongest current elementary performer: it leads Sixth District Elementary School in nine of 10 matching comparisons, by 12 points on average. Glenn’s biggest leads are 27 points in fourth-grade math and 24 points in fifth-grade social studies; Sixth District leads by 10 points in fifth-grade writing. Holmes Middle School is a concern on achievement: all its reported results are below state, and SchoolDigger ranks it at the 4th percentile statewide. Holmes High School also has low test results and the area’s most concerning attendance figure: chronic absenteeism is 34%, compared with 24% statewide and 21% in Covington Independent.

Results have weakened overall: across comparable measures, the average school-to-state gap worsened by 4 points from the prior year. Glenn’s SchoolDigger ranking fell from the 78th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 48th in 2025–2026; its reading scores fell in all three tested grades, and fifth-grade editing and mechanics dropped from 75% to 28%. Meanwhile, Sixth District’s average gap improved by 3 points. Contextual measures differ too: in 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 78% at Glenn and 88% at Sixth District; student-teacher ratios were 11.8 and 13.3, respectively—observations, not explanations for results. Covington Adult High School has seven students and no current KSA results, so its older reported measures do not support a current academic comparison.
