Summary:
The 41605 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Betsy Layne Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 with 628 students. The school is part of the Floyd County school district, which is ranked 111 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Betsy Layne Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by the Kentucky State Assessments (KSA), is generally below the Floyd County and Kentucky state averages across grade levels and subject areas. In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 18% to 48% in math and 23% to 48% in reading, compared to county averages of 22% to 33% in math and 37% to 48% in reading, and state averages of 37% to 43% in math and 41% to 50% in reading. The school's performance has been relatively consistent over the past two years, with some slight improvements in certain grade levels and subjects.
Despite the school's academic challenges, it appears to have relatively high per-student spending and a relatively low student-teacher ratio. However, the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with 82.96% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. This suggests that the school may be facing unique challenges in addressing the needs of its student population, and that the allocation of resources may not be effectively addressing these needs.
