Summary:
The 42352 zip code has only one school, Livermore Elementary School, a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 with 244 students. The school is part of the McLean County school district, which is ranked 72 out of 157 districts in Kentucky and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Livermore Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by Kentucky State Assessment (KSA) proficiency rates, is consistently lower than the McLean County and Kentucky averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 34%, compared to 47% for McLean County and 43% for Kentucky. The school's reading, science, and social studies proficiency rates are also below the district and state averages. Additionally, Livermore Elementary has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 25%, which is likely impacting student learning and achievement.
Despite the academic challenges, Livermore Elementary appears to have adequate funding and resources, with a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.1 and higher-than-average per-student spending of $17,266. However, the school serves a population with significant economic disadvantages, with 70.08% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor may be contributing to the school's performance issues and should be considered when developing strategies for improvement.
