Best Public Schools in Zip Code 40211


Summary:

The 40211 zip code area of Louisville, Kentucky is home to 7 elementary schools serving grades ranging from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade, including a mix of public and public magnet schools. While some schools in this area, such as Brandeis Elementary and Carter Traditional Elementary, consistently rank among the top elementary schools in the state, others like Foster Traditional Academy and Kennedy Elementary perform significantly lower, ranking in the bottom 10% of Kentucky elementary schools.

The data reveals a wide disparity in academic performance between the top-performing and lower-performing schools in the area, with the high-performing schools boasting strong proficiency rates in core subjects like math, reading, and science, while the lower-performing schools struggle to meet state and district averages. This performance gap appears to be closely linked to the socioeconomic status of the student population, as the schools with the highest rates of free and reduced-price lunch also have the lowest test scores.

Additionally, the magnet schools in the area, such as Brandeis and Carter Traditional, generally outperform the non-magnet schools, suggesting that the magnet program model may be beneficial for student outcomes. However, some schools, like Foster Traditional and Kennedy, have seen their performance decline in recent years, indicating a need for further investigation and intervention to address equity and resource allocation issues within the district.
