Summary:
Zip code 41049 has one listed school, Hillsboro Elementary School, serving kindergarten through grade 5, with 224 students in Fleming County. With no other listed schools, families cannot compare local school options in this data. Hillsboro’s student-teacher ratio was 13.9 in 2024–2025, and 59% of students were reported free/reduced lunch eligible that year. The most important finding is that results vary sharply by grade and subject rather than being consistently above or below state levels.
Hillsboro is the only school in the list, so it is neither a local leader nor a trailer; the clearest standouts are individual grade-level results. Third-grade reading was a bright spot at 57%, above the state’s 49% and the district’s 42%. Fourth-grade reading was the clearest concern: 28%, compared with 50% statewide and 32% in the district. Across grades 3–5, reading averaged 45%, five points below the state average of 50%. In grade 5, social studies was slightly above the state result, 39% to 38%, while editing and mechanics was 32%, 16 points below the state; writing was 29%, six points below.
Results changed in different directions across the two years of test data. Third-grade reading rose 21 points, from 36% to 57%, while fourth-grade reading fell 24 points, from 52% to 28%; fifth-grade editing and mechanics improved 13 points, though it remained below the state. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking improved from 532nd of 685 schools, at the 22nd percentile, in 2023–2024 to 428th of 684, at the 37th percentile, in 2025–2026; its latest rating is 2 stars. Chronic absenteeism was also lower than comparison figures: 18% at Hillsboro versus 20% in the district and 24% statewide in 2025–2026. These measures offer useful context, but the varied test results show why a single overall label would miss important differences.
