Summary:
The 42164 zip code area in Kentucky is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including Allen County Primary Center, Allen County-Scottsville High School, Allen County Intermediate Center, James E Bazzell Middle School, and Patriot Academy. The data reveals a mix of strong and struggling schools, with notable performance gaps and equity concerns across the district.
Allen County-Scottsville High School stands out as the top-performing school in the area, ranking 103 out of 290 Kentucky high schools and boasting a high 4-year graduation rate of 93.5%. In contrast, the Patriot Academy alternative school struggles with lower test scores and graduation rates, suggesting its students face additional challenges. Across the district, high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 58.13% to 77.65%, indicate significant socioeconomic challenges that may contribute to the observed performance gaps.
A concerning trend across all schools in the 42164 zip code is the consistently high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.0%, which is well above the state average. This issue, coupled with the performance gaps and equity concerns, highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to ensure all students in the community have access to a high-quality education. The Allen County district must work to address these challenges and provide the resources and opportunities necessary for student success.
