Summary:
The 41339 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 1 elementary school, 3 high schools, and 2 alternative/specialized schools, spread across the Breathitt County and Jackson Independent school districts. While the schools generally serve economically disadvantaged populations, with high free/reduced lunch rates, a few standout institutions are providing better outcomes for students.
Jackson City School, an alternative high school, has the highest 4-year graduation rate at 95.2% and significantly stronger test scores than the other schools in the area, with 81% of 11th graders proficient or better in ACT English and 67% in ACT Reading. Similarly, Breathitt Learning Academy, a small alternative high school, stands out with a very low student-teacher ratio of 10.5, suggesting more individualized attention for students.
In contrast, the other schools in the 41339 zip code area, such as Breathitt County High School and Sebastian Elementary, are generally underperforming compared to state averages, with lower graduation rates and test scores. This suggests the need for additional support and resources to improve student outcomes across the region, particularly in the traditional public schools.
