Summary:
The 41224 zip code area in Kentucky is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (Eden Elementary and Inez Elementary) and 1 high school (Martin County High School). While Eden Elementary stands out as the highest-performing school in the area, the data reveals significant disparities in educational outcomes within this zip code.
Eden Elementary ranks 375 out of 685 Kentucky elementary schools and maintains relatively strong reading and math proficiency rates compared to the county and state averages. In contrast, Inez Elementary ranks 552 out of 685 and struggles with low proficiency rates in subjects like writing and editing. Martin County High School, ranked 196 out of 290 Kentucky high schools, also lags behind the state on ACT and Kentucky State Assessment (KSA) test scores.
The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility across all three schools, ranging from 63.6% to 72.54%, suggest that the schools serve a population facing significant economic challenges. This may contribute to the overall lower academic performance observed. Additionally, the much higher per-student spending at Martin County High School compared to the elementary schools could indicate a potential imbalance in resource allocation or prioritization of funding at the high school level.
