Summary:
The 40160 zip code area in Kentucky is home to 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. While the schools serve a diverse student population, with a mix of racial groups and a significant percentage of economically disadvantaged students, the academic performance varies widely across the schools.
North Hardin High School stands out as the largest school in the area, with 1,651 students, and it performs relatively well compared to state and county averages, ranking in the top 40% of Kentucky high schools. In contrast, the elementary and middle schools generally struggle, with some ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Kentucky schools. North Park Elementary has the second-largest student population and the highest spending per student, but its test scores are not significantly better than the other elementary schools.
The data reveals significant disparities in performance among the schools, suggesting that students in the 40160 zip code may not be receiving equitable educational opportunities. While the high spending at some schools does not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes, the high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients at many of the schools indicate that these schools are serving a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which can present unique challenges. Further analysis and targeted interventions may be needed to address these issues and ensure all students in the area receive a high-quality education.
