Summary:
The 42328 zip code in Ohio County, Kentucky has only one public elementary school, Western Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with 261 students. While the school is part of the relatively high-performing Ohio County School District, its own academic performance is mixed, with some areas of strength but also several weaknesses compared to district and state averages.
Western Elementary School's math proficiency rates lag behind the district and state, while its reading proficiency in 4th and 6th grades exceeds the averages. However, the school's science, writing, and social studies scores are all below the district and state levels. With 77.78% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a high-need population, which may contribute to its academic challenges.
Despite the school's below-average performance in several core subject areas, it does have some positive indicators, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.9 and per-student spending above the state average. To improve student outcomes, Western Elementary School will likely need to implement a more comprehensive and targeted approach to address its specific areas of weakness while also leveraging its available resources and funding.
