Summary:
The 41314 zip code area in Kentucky is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools and 1 high school. Based on the available data, Highland-Turner Elementary School stands out as the top-performing school in the region, consistently ranking among the best elementary schools in the state. In contrast, the other two schools, Owsley County Elementary School and Owsley County High School, have lower rankings and performance metrics.
Highland-Turner Elementary is ranked 100 out of 685 Kentucky elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 4 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. In the previous year, it was ranked 16 out of 685 with a perfect 5 out of 5 star rating. The school's students consistently outperform the Breathitt County and state averages in math and reading. In contrast, Owsley County Elementary is ranked in the bottom quarter of Kentucky elementary schools, with test scores well below the state averages, and Owsley County High School is ranked in the middle of Kentucky high schools, with mixed test score performance.
All three schools in the 41314 zip code area face significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates (ranging from 25% to 98%) and very high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While the schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios and high spending per student, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for all students. Addressing the root causes of these performance gaps, such as attendance issues and socioeconomic factors, will be crucial for improving educational opportunities for all children in the region.
