Summary:
The 40258 zip code area in Kentucky is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Jefferson County school district. While the district as a whole is ranked 141 out of 159 in the state, the schools in this area show significant disparities in academic performance, with Eisenhower Elementary standing out as the highest-performing school, ranking 435 out of 685 Kentucky elementary schools and having the highest percentage of students proficient or better in reading and math.
In contrast, the other schools in the area, particularly Conway Middle and the lower-ranked elementary schools, struggle to meet state and district averages in test scores, with only 9-18% of students proficient or better in math and 12-18% in reading at Conway Middle. The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across the schools, ranging from 54.83% at Eisenhower Elementary to 78.37% at Sanders Elementary, suggest a high level of economic disadvantage in the community, which may be contributing to the lower academic performance.
Despite the challenges faced by the schools in this area, Pleasure Ridge Park High stands out with a graduation rate of 91.7%, which is above the district and state averages. However, the school's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages, indicating that while the school is able to graduate a high percentage of students, their academic performance may be lagging. The data highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the educational challenges faced by these schools and the community they serve.
