Summary:

The 42023 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, Carlisle County Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. Located in the Carlisle County school district, the school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past few years, ranging from 216th out of 687 Kentucky elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 422nd out of 685 in 2023-2024.

Carlisle County Elementary School's performance on state assessments has been mixed, with some subject areas showing stronger proficiency rates than others. In 2024-2025, the school's 3rd and 4th grade math proficiency rates were above the state average, while their 5th grade reading, writing, and social studies proficiency rates were below the state average. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 63.81% in the 2023-2024 school year.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $19,727 and a student-teacher ratio of 14.8, which is lower than the state average, its academic performance has shown variability. One area of concern is the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 25.0% in the 2024-2025 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average. Further analysis would be needed to identify the underlying factors driving the school's performance trends and develop strategies to address any areas of weakness.
