Best Public Schools in Zip Code 40109

Summary:

The 40109 zip code in Kentucky has only one school, Brooks Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the Bullitt County School District. While the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a socioeconomically disadvantaged population, its academic performance has been consistently below state and district averages in core subjects like mathematics and reading over the past few years.

Brooks Elementary School's statewide ranking has declined from 419 out of 684 Kentucky elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 601 out of 685 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating has dropped from 2 stars to 1 star during this time period. The school's proficiency rates in mathematics range from 21% to 26%, compared to 36-43% for the Bullitt County district and 41-43% for the state of Kentucky. Similarly, reading proficiency rates at Brooks Elementary are lower than district and state averages, ranging from 22% to 37% in 2023-2024, compared to 39-50% for the district and 46-50% for the state.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $14,274 in the 2018-2019 school year and a student-teacher ratio of 16.4 for the 2022-2023 school year, which is within a reasonable range, Brooks Elementary School appears to be facing significant academic and performance challenges that require further examination and targeted interventions to support student success.
