Summary:

The 40385 zip code area is home to a single public elementary school, Waco Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 and has 428 students. Waco Elementary is part of the Madison County school district, which is ranked 23 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Waco Elementary School appears to be a relatively strong-performing school within its district and the state of Kentucky. The school consistently ranks in the top half of Kentucky elementary schools, placing between 273-296 out of 684-687 schools over the past 3 years. Waco Elementary's performance on state assessments (KSA) is generally above the Madison County and Kentucky averages, particularly in mathematics and social studies. The school also has a lower student-teacher ratio of 13.8, compared to the district and state averages, and a higher per-student spending of $13,377.

Despite serving a high-poverty student population, with a free/reduced lunch rate of 57.01%, Waco Elementary School is able to outperform the district and state averages on many academic measures. This suggests the school may have effective strategies or programs in place to support student success. However, the lower 4th grade math proficiency is an area that may warrant further investigation and targeted interventions.
