Summary:
Zip code 41524 has one listed school, Feds Creek Elementary School, serving prekindergarten through grade 8 with 136 students, so families have one local school profile rather than a choice among area schools. Its latest results show a striking split by grade: eighth graders performed well above state results in several subjects, while sixth-grade reading was below the state. The most important finding is that the school’s strong eighth-grade performance does not reflect an equally strong result in every grade.
Within the school’s reported 2025–2026 results, eighth grade stands out at the top: proficiency was 69% in mathematics versus 39% statewide, 69% in reading versus 40%, and 62% in social studies versus 39%. At the other end, sixth-grade reading was 42%, 12 points below the state’s 54%; fifth-grade mathematics was nearly even at 42% versus 43%. Other reported results were above the state, including fifth-grade writing at 42% versus 35% and eighth-grade editing and mechanics at 46% versus 42%. These grade-level differences matter more than any school-to-school ranking, since this zip code has only one listed school.
Results improved in several comparable grades, but the changes were not consistent across subjects. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, mathematics rose 27 points in grade 3, 15 points in grade 5 and 31 points in grade 8; grade 8 reading rose 25 points, while grade 6 reading fell 22 points. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile ranking also rebounded, from 36 in 2024–2025 to 65 in 2025–2026, after being 49 in 2023–2024. As context, 93% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, the student–teacher ratio was 10.4, and chronic absenteeism was 40% in 2025–2026, compared with 24% statewide and 35% in Pike County; these figures describe the school but do not explain its test results.
