Best Public Schools in Zip Code 40157

Summary:

The 40157 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Payneville Elementary School, which serves students from the surrounding Meade County district. Despite being the only school in the area, Payneville Elementary has shown consistent improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 296th out of 684 Kentucky elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 142nd out of 685 in 2023-2024.

Academically, Payneville Elementary performs well, with proficiency rates on the Kentucky State Assessments (KSA) generally exceeding the state average in subjects like mathematics, reading, writing, social studies, and editing/mechanics. However, the school's performance is mixed compared to the Meade County district average, with some grades and subjects outperforming the district and others falling behind. This suggests that the school may be facing unique challenges or that the district as a whole is performing exceptionally well.

Payneville Elementary serves a population with a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 54.3% in the 2022-2023 school year. Despite this, the school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $15,143, which is higher than the state average, and the student-teacher ratio for the 2022-2023 school year was 15.9, which is relatively low compared to the state average. These factors may contribute to the school's academic performance and its ability to provide individualized attention and support to its students.
