Summary:
The 42776 zip code area is home to two schools: Creekside Elementary School, an elementary school, and The Life Connection, an alternative school serving grades 4-12. While Creekside Elementary has seen fluctuating performance in recent years, The Life Connection serves a highly economically disadvantaged student population with a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate.
Creekside Elementary School has a mixed academic performance, with some grade levels performing above the Hardin County and state averages in math and reading, while others fall below. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated significantly, suggesting inconsistencies in its performance. In contrast, The Life Connection has a lower student-to-teacher ratio of 11.6, which may indicate a more individualized approach to supporting its students.
The high free and reduced-price lunch rates at both schools, 50.6% at Creekside Elementary and 100% at The Life Connection, suggest that the schools in the 42776 zip code area face unique challenges in supporting the academic and social-emotional needs of their economically disadvantaged student populations. Further investigation into the strategies and resources available to these schools could provide valuable insights to address these challenges and ensure the success of all students in the region.
