Best Public Schools in Zip Code 40117

Summary:

The 40117 zip code area in Kentucky is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (Flaherty Primary School and Ekron Elementary School) and 1 middle school (Flaherty Elementary School). Based on the available data, Ekron Elementary School stands out as the top-performing school in the area, consistently ranking in the top 50% of Kentucky elementary schools and outperforming the Meade County and state averages on academic metrics.

Ekron Elementary School has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and boasts higher proficiency rates across subjects like math, reading, science, writing, and editing/mechanics compared to the other schools in the area. Additionally, Ekron Elementary has a lower percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to its academic success.

In contrast, the two Flaherty schools (Primary and Elementary) appear to struggle academically, underperforming the county and state averages on most metrics. This could be due to factors such as higher poverty rates, resource constraints, or other challenges faced by these schools. The variation in student-teacher ratios across the schools may also be a contributing factor to their academic performance, with Ekron Elementary having the lowest ratio, which could allow for more individualized attention and support for students.
