Summary:
The 42266 zip code area has only one elementary school, Pembroke Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6. The school's performance is generally below the Christian County district and Kentucky state averages across most subject areas and grade levels, reflected in its 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools.
Pembroke Elementary has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.0% and a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (70.44%), indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the school's lower academic performance, it spends a relatively high amount per student ($16,455) compared to the state average, suggesting that additional funding alone may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes.
The school's student-teacher ratio of 16.7 is slightly higher than the state average, which could be a factor in the academic challenges faced by the school. Overall, the data paints a picture of a struggling elementary school that is underperforming compared to its district and state counterparts, and addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate, improving instructional practices, and providing targeted support for economically disadvantaged students may be key areas for the school to focus on in order to drive better academic outcomes.
