Summary:
The 41042 zip code area of Boone County, Kentucky is home to 9 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Boone County school district. While the district as a whole performs above the state average, there is significant variation in the quality and performance of individual schools within the zip code.
Two standout schools in the area are Erpenbeck Elementary School, which consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Kentucky, and Boone County High School, which has a strong 96.8% four-year graduation rate and generally outperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests. In contrast, Rector A. Jones Middle School and Hillard Collins Elementary School struggle to meet benchmarks, highlighting the potential for significant variation in school quality even within a small geographic area.
The data also reveals that the virtual high school, RISE Academy, serves a unique population of students and has a much lower student-teacher ratio than the traditional high school. Additionally, there appears to be a correlation between higher free/reduced lunch rates and lower academic performance, as seen in some of the lower-performing schools in the area.
