Summary:
The 40152 zip code has only one school, Ben Johnson Elementary School, a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 with 229 students. The school is part of the Breckinridge County School District, which is ranked 93 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Ben Johnson Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by the Kentucky State Assessments (KSA), is consistently below the Breckinridge County and Kentucky state averages across multiple subject areas and grade levels. In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates range from 18% to 56%, compared to 28% to 53% for Breckinridge County and 34% to 50% for the state. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $15,831 and a lower student-teacher ratio of 15.2, its academic performance remains below average, suggesting potential challenges in effectively allocating resources to support student learning.
The school serves a population with significant economic disadvantages, with 42.36% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance and could require targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of the student population. The school's performance has been relatively consistent over the past two years, with some slight improvements in certain areas, indicating that the school may be facing persistent challenges that require a more comprehensive and long-term approach to address.
