Best Public Schools in Zip Code 42028

Summary:

The 42028 zip code area in Kentucky is home to two schools - Livingston County Middle School and North Livingston Elementary School, both part of the Livingston County school district. While the schools serve different grade levels, they face similar challenges, with both performing below state averages on key metrics such as test scores and statewide rankings.

Livingston County Middle School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 107 out of 320 in 2021-2022 to 211 out of 327 in 2023-2024. Its proficiency rates in core subjects like mathematics, reading, and writing are generally below the state averages. In contrast, North Livingston Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom third of Kentucky elementary schools, with a 1-star rating for the past two school years. The school's proficiency rates in mathematics and writing are significantly below the state and county averages.

Both schools serve a high percentage of students from low-income families, with free/reduced lunch rates exceeding 60%. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the academic challenges faced by these schools. Additionally, the significantly higher spending per student at North Livingston Elementary School compared to Livingston County Middle School suggests that resources may not be evenly distributed across the district. Addressing these disparities and implementing targeted interventions could be crucial in improving the overall performance of schools in the 42028 zip code area.
