Summary:
The 40380 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is a virtual school). Overall, the schools in this area face significant challenges, with student performance well below state averages across various metrics. However, there are some bright spots, such as the strong performance of Stanton Elementary School and the higher graduation rate at Powell County Academy.
The data reveals that the schools in the 40380 zip code area serve communities with high poverty levels, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 58.83% at Powell County High School to 72.73% at Powell County Academy. This likely contributes to the academic struggles observed, with the schools consistently underperforming state averages in areas such as test scores and graduation rates.
Despite the overall challenges, there are some promising signs. Stanton Elementary School stands out as the top performer among the elementary schools, with 44% of 3rd graders proficient or better in reading and 47% in math. Additionally, Powell County Academy has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 5.5, which may contribute to its higher four-year graduation rate of 83.3% compared to the 91.4% rate at Powell County High School. These insights suggest that targeted interventions and resource allocation could help improve student outcomes across the Powell County school district.
