Best High Schools in Zip Code 41018

ZIP code 41018 has two schools designated as high schools: Lloyd High School, serving grades 9–12 with 711 students, and Bartlett Educational Center, serving grades 6–12 with 58 students. Both are in the Erlanger-Elsmere Independent district. Bartlett’s 2025–2026 high-school test scores are suppressed, so the available results do not support a complete head-to-head comparison. The clearest overall takeaway is that Lloyd’s reported high-school results are mixed but close to the state average, while Bartlett’s current high-school performance cannot be compared from the available scores.

Lloyd stands out in reading and writing, but has weaker results in editing and social studies. In 2025–2026, its 10th-grade reading proficiency was 55%, 6 points above the state and 4 above the district; its 11th-grade writing rate was 49%, 2 points above the state and even with the district. By contrast, Lloyd was 9 points below the state in editing and mechanics (31% versus 40%) and 8 points below in social studies (29% versus 37%). Its average across six subjects was 37%, 2 points below the state’s 39%. Bartlett’s notable available result is lower: its 2024–2025 eighth-grade reading rate was 15%, 27 points below the state and 14 below the district. That result is from a different grade and year, not a direct comparison with Lloyd.

Lloyd’s six-subject average improved by 9 points, from 28% in 2024–2025 to 37% in 2025–2026, while the state average was nearly unchanged, at 39.0% and 39.3%; Lloyd’s gap narrowed from 11 points below the state to 2 points below. Its biggest gains were in writing (up 19 points) and reading (up 12), though mathematics slipped 1 point. SchoolDigger placed Lloyd at the 43rd percentile in 2025–2026, up from the 22nd percentile the year before; its rank improved from 198 of 254 schools to 150 of 262. Attendance is a concern at both schools: chronic absenteeism was 27% at Lloyd and 62% at Bartlett, compared with 24% statewide. In 2024–2025, Lloyd’s student-teacher ratio was 19.7 versus Bartlett’s 7.2; both schools reported free/reduced lunch eligible, at 87% and 91%, respectively.
