Summary:
The 40906 zip code area is home to 11 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 5 high schools, and 2 alternative schools, spread across the Knox County and Barbourville Independent school districts. While the schools in this area demonstrate a wide range of academic performance, a few standouts emerge.
G.R. Hampton Elementary School consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with exceptional proficiency rates in math and reading. In contrast, the alternative and specialized schools, such as Barbourville City School and Knox Inspire Academy, tend to have lower academic performance and graduation rates compared to the traditional public schools.
The data also reveals a significant gap in performance between the top-performing elementary schools and the middle and high schools, suggesting a need to maintain and build upon the strong foundations established at the elementary level. Additionally, the Knox County school district, which encompasses the majority of the schools in the data set, appears to be struggling overall, with most of its schools performing below the state averages. This could indicate a need for district-level interventions and support to address the specific challenges faced by the schools in this area.
