Summary:

The 42376 zip code contains a single elementary school, Southern Oaks Elementary School, which serves students in the Daviess County school district. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with a statewide ranking ranging from 175 out of 685 Kentucky elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 302 out of 687 in 2022-2023. While the school's academic results on state assessments are a mix of above-average and below-average compared to district and state averages, it faces challenges related to a high percentage of students from low-income families.

Southern Oaks Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.6, suggesting a favorable classroom environment. However, the school's per-student spending of $15,324 in 2023-2024 is higher than the state average, indicating that the school has access to significant resources, but it's unclear how these resources are being utilized to support student learning and outcomes.

Overall, the analysis of this single school data set provides a snapshot of the performance and characteristics of Southern Oaks Elementary School, but more comprehensive data and comparisons would be needed to draw broader conclusions about the educational landscape in the 42376 zip code or the Daviess County school district.
