Summary:
The 40517 zip code area of Lexington, Kentucky is home to 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. While the schools in this area show some variation in performance, the data reveals concerning trends in academic achievement, particularly in math proficiency, that warrant further attention.
Tates Creek High School stands out with the highest enrollment and a strong 96.5% four-year graduation rate, but its test scores are generally lower than the Fayette County and Kentucky averages. In contrast, Southern Elementary School has relatively stronger performance, with reading and math proficiency rates closer to the county and state benchmarks.
