Best Public Schools in Zip Code 40059

Summary:

The 40059 zip code area is home to two elementary schools: Goshen At Hillcrest Elementary School and Norton Commons Elementary. While both schools perform above the state and district averages, Goshen At Hillcrest Elementary School stands out as a consistently high-performing institution, ranking among the top 52 elementary schools in Kentucky.

Goshen At Hillcrest Elementary School has consistently maintained a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and significantly outperforms the Oldham County and state averages in various subjects. In contrast, while Norton Commons Elementary also performs above the Jefferson County and state averages, its academic achievements are not as impressive as those of Goshen At Hillcrest Elementary School.

The stark contrast in performance between the two schools, despite being in the same zip code, highlights the importance of considering individual school data rather than making assumptions based on location alone. Factors such as the schools' spending per student, student-teacher ratios, and the socioeconomic backgrounds of their student populations may contribute to the observed differences in academic outcomes.
