Summary:

Zip code 42431 has 10 schools: four elementary schools, two middle schools, three high schools and one alternative school, serving students from elementary through high-school grades. In 2025–2026, area results were above state averages in five of six subjects: writing by 5 points, editing and mechanics by 3, and mathematics, reading and social studies by about 2 points each; science was 3 points below. The most important takeaway is that results vary substantially by grade and subject, even though the overall picture is above state averages in most subjects.

Madisonville North Hopkins High School led Hopkins County Central High School in all six tested subjects, with the largest gap in writing: 61% proficient versus 30%, a 31-point difference. SchoolDigger ranked Madisonville North Hopkins at the 75th percentile among Kentucky high schools (4 stars), compared with the 19th percentile (1 star) for Hopkins County Central. At middle school, James Madison Middle School had higher averages than Browning Springs Middle School in all six subjects, by 3 to 12 points. Elementary strengths depend especially on grade: Pride Elementary School led in Grade 3–4 reading and mathematics, while Grapevine Elementary School led in five Grade 5 subjects, including writing at 55%; Pride’s Grade 5 writing was 21%, the elementary low.

Recent changes were mixed: combined results were nearly flat, down 10 points across 71 matched school results, while Browning Springs and Hopkins County Central improved on the comparison and Grapevine and James Madison declined. SchoolDigger’s percentile rankings from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026 also fell 15 points for Grapevine and 14 for Pride, while rising 6 for James Madison and 3 for Browning Springs. The high schools differ in size and staffing—Madisonville North Hopkins enrolls 1,023 students with a 16.3 student-teacher ratio, versus 861 students and 14.1 at Hopkins County Central—yet the larger school had higher scores in every tested subject. Their 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible measures were 43% and 57%, respectively; these are context, not an explanation for results. Test-score values for Hopkins County Schools Academy and Hopkins County Day Treatment are suppressed.
