Summary:
The 41219 zip code in Johnson County, Kentucky has only one school, Flat Gap Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 205 students. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.5 to 1 and higher per-student spending than the state average, its academic performance on the Kentucky School Assessment (KSA) tests is generally lower than the Johnson County district and the state of Kentucky averages, particularly in core subjects like mathematics and reading.
Flat Gap Elementary School's proficiency rates on the KSA tests are mixed, with 4th grade mathematics at 29% (vs. 41% county, 43% state), 5th grade mathematics at 33% (vs. 43% county, 41% state), and 6th grade mathematics at 44% (matching the county, but above the 42% state average). In reading, the school's proficiency rates are also lower than the county and state, with 3rd grade at 17% (vs. 56% county, 47% state), 5th grade at 24% (vs. 50% county, 46% state), and 6th grade at 44% (vs. 60% county, 49% state). The school also has lower proficiency rates in other subjects like science and social studies compared to the broader district and state.
One potential factor contributing to the school's lower academic performance is the high percentage of students (73.66%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population. While the school's higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio suggest a focus on resource allocation, these factors alone have not translated into higher proficiency rates, indicating that additional interventions and support may be needed to address the specific challenges faced by Flat Gap Elementary School and improve student outcomes.
