Summary:
The 41862 zip code in Kentucky is home to a single elementary school, Beaver Creek Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 8th grade. The school's performance has been declining in recent years, with its ranking dropping from 606 out of 684 Kentucky elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 654 out of 687 schools in 2022-2023, and further to 537 out of 685 schools in the 2024-2025 school year, earning it a 1-star rating from School Digger.
Beaver Creek Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the Knott County district and the state of Kentucky in terms of academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 39% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 54% for Knott County and 43% for Kentucky. Similarly, in reading, only 22% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better, compared to 62% for Knott County and 47% for Kentucky. The school's high dropout rate of 1.1% and chronic absenteeism rate of 25.0% further contribute to its academic challenges.
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.1 and spending of $16,635 per student, it has been unable to translate these resources into improved academic outcomes. The high percentage of students (84.62%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests that the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, which may be a contributing factor to its struggles. Overall, the data indicates that Beaver Creek Elementary School is an underperforming school that needs to address the root causes of its academic challenges to improve student outcomes.
