Schools in Zip Code 41339

The 41339 zip code area in Kentucky is home to 6 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school, which are part of the Breathitt County and Jackson Independent school districts. While the districts are ranked 109 out of 157 in Kentucky and rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, the data reveals some standout schools and notable trends within the area.

The Jackson City School, an alternative school, stands out with some of the highest test scores in the data set, significantly outperforming the district and state averages in many subject areas. The school also boasts a high 4-year graduation rate of 93.5% and a low dropout rate of 1.1%. In contrast, Breathitt County High School and the two smaller high schools, Breathitt Regional School and Breathitt Learning Academy, have relatively low student enrollment and chronic absenteeism rates compared to the other schools.

Across the schools, there are significant disparities in academic performance, with high chronic absenteeism rates and wide variations in test scores, graduation rates, and spending per student. These factors suggest potential inequities in educational resources and opportunities within the Breathitt County and Jackson Independent districts. Additionally, the high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 58.99% to 78.82%, indicate that these schools serve economically disadvantaged communities, which may require additional support and resources to address the challenges associated with poverty.
