Best Public Schools in Zip Code 41540

Summary:

The 41540 zip code is home to a single public high school, East Ridge High School, which serves grades 9-12 and has a total enrollment of 410 students. The school is part of the Pike County School District, which is ranked 28 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

East Ridge High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three school years, dropping from 197 out of 271 Kentucky high schools in 2021-2022 to 167 out of 276 in 2022-2023 and 167 out of 290 in 2023-2024. The school's proficiency rates on various state assessments, such as ACT and KSA, are generally lower than the Pike County and Kentucky state averages, indicating that East Ridge High School students may be underperforming academically compared to their peers across the state. Additionally, with over 74% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, East Ridge High School serves a high-poverty student population, which may contribute to the school's academic challenges.

Despite the school's academic performance concerns, East Ridge High School spends a relatively high amount per student ($14,378) compared to the state average. This suggests that additional funding alone may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes, and the school may need to implement targeted interventions to address the specific challenges it faces.
