Best Public Schools in Zip Code 41862

Summary:

The 41862 zip code area has only one school, Beaver Creek Elementary School, which serves grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 196 students. The school is located in the Knott County school district, which is ranked 79 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Beaver Creek Elementary School's academic performance is a concern, as its statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, going from 522 out of 700 Kentucky elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 654 out of 687 in 2022-2023, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are generally below the Knott County and Kentucky state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with only 32% of 8th-grade students proficient in reading compared to the Knott County average of 50% and the Kentucky average of 41%. Additionally, the school has a high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 80.1% in the 2022-2023 school year.

Despite the relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.2 to 1 and the higher-than-average spending per student of $13,804, Beaver Creek Elementary School's academic performance does not appear to be benefiting from these resources. This suggests that factors beyond just the student-teacher ratio and funding may be influencing student outcomes at the school. Further investigation into the specific challenges facing Beaver Creek Elementary and the strategies being employed to address these issues could provide valuable insights for improving educational outcomes in this community.
