Summary:
The 40107 zip code in Kentucky has only one school, Boston School, which serves grades K-8 and has a total enrollment of 361 students. The school is part of the Nelson County school district, which is ranked 148 out of 159 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Boston School's performance is consistently below the county and state averages, as indicated by its statewide ranking between 378 and 592 out of 684-687 Kentucky elementary schools over the past three years. The school's proficiency rates on the Kentucky State Assessments (KSA) are generally lower than the county and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, Boston School's 3rd-grade math proficiency rate was 35% compared to 43% statewide, and its 8th-grade reading proficiency rate was 49% compared to 41% statewide. Additionally, 44.32% of Boston School's students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, suggesting the school serves a population with significant economic challenges.
Despite the school's lower academic performance, it spends more per student than the state average, at $12,849 per student for the 2018-2019 school year. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.4 to 1 in the 2022-2023 school year, which could be a positive factor. However, these factors have not translated into stronger academic outcomes for Boston School, raising questions about the efficient use of resources and the underlying factors contributing to the school's struggles.
