Summary:
The 41164 zip code area in Kentucky is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative virtual school. Overall, the schools in this area show a mix of academic performance, with some standout schools and others with room for improvement.
The top-performing school in the area is West Carter County High School, which boasts an impressive 99.2% 4-year graduation rate, well above the state average. This high school also performs strongly on state assessments, with 40-54% of students scoring proficient or better in various subjects. In contrast, the two elementary schools in the area, Olive Hill Elementary School and Tygart Creek Elementary School, show more variability in their academic outcomes, with Olive Hill outperforming Tygart Creek on many metrics.
Another standout is Carter Virtual Academy, an alternative virtual school that achieves a remarkable 100% 4-year graduation rate. However, the Carter County school district as a whole faces challenges, with high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch across all the schools, indicating significant economic disadvantages in the student populations. The district is investing above-average resources per student, but the mixed academic results suggest opportunities to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of that spending.
