Summary:
The 41014 zip code area of Covington, Kentucky is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools (one traditional and one adult high school). While the area's schools face significant challenges, with most struggling academically, Glenn O Swing Elementary stands out as a consistent top performer, earning high ratings and proficiency levels well above the district and state averages.
The data reveals a stark contrast in academic performance, with Holmes High School and Holmes Middle School ranking in the bottom quartile of their respective school types in Kentucky and posting very low proficiency rates, often less than half the state averages. In contrast, Glenn O Swing Elementary has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in the state, with 65% of 5th graders proficient or better in math and reading, compared to district averages of just 42% and 46%.
The high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 78% to 84% across all the schools, suggest potential socioeconomic challenges in the Covington Independent school district that may be contributing to the overall low academic performance. Additionally, the very low graduation rate of just 25% at Covington Adult High School indicates this school is struggling to help its highly disadvantaged student population succeed.
