Summary:
The 42629 zip code in Kentucky is home to a single public elementary school, Jamestown Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 476 students. Jamestown Elementary is part of the Russell County school district, which is ranked 27th out of 159 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Jamestown Elementary School's academic performance has been somewhat inconsistent in recent years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 273rd out of 685 Kentucky elementary schools in 2023-2024 (3-star rating) and 383rd out of 687 in 2022-2023 (2-star rating). In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates on the Kentucky State Assessments (KSA) were generally higher than the Russell County and statewide averages, particularly in reading and social studies. However, in the 2022-2023 school year, Jamestown's proficiency rates were more mixed, with some subjects lagging behind the district and state.
Despite the school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (75.42% in 2022-2023), indicating a relatively high-need student population, Jamestown Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15:1 and per-student spending that is above the state average. This suggests the school may be allocating resources effectively to support its students, though further analysis would be needed to fully understand the impact of this resource allocation. Overall, Jamestown Elementary appears to be doing a relatively strong job of supporting student learning, even in the face of socioeconomic challenges, though its academic performance has been somewhat inconsistent in recent years.
