Summary:

The 41017 zip code area is home to 8 schools across two school districts - Kenton County and Beechwood Independent. The schools include 4 elementary, 1 middle, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. While the schools generally perform well, there is a stark contrast in academic achievement between the Beechwood schools and the Kenton County schools.

Beechwood Elementary School and Beechwood High School consistently rank among the top schools in the state, with Beechwood High School ranking 9th out of 254 Kentucky high schools. These schools have very high proficiency rates across multiple subjects and grade levels, significantly outperforming state and district averages. In contrast, while the Dixie Heights High School in the Kenton County district is a strong performer, ranking in the top 20% of Kentucky high schools, the other Kenton County schools lag behind.

Chronic absenteeism is a concern across all schools in the 41017 zip code, with rates as high as 25%. Additionally, the data for the Guardian Angel alternative school suggests it may be struggling compared to district and state averages, though more information is needed to fully understand its performance and challenges.
