Clay City High School up 211 spots statewide this year
Summary:

The 62824 zip code is home to a single high school, Clay City High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has some strengths, such as a slightly above-average graduation rate and lower-than-average dropout rate, it also faces challenges in academic performance and student engagement.

Clay City High School's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly below the state averages, indicating a need for improvement in these areas. Additionally, the school has a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate, which could be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance. The school also serves a student population with a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting potential socioeconomic challenges that may impact student outcomes.

Despite these challenges, Clay City High School has a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 10.2, which could provide opportunities for more personalized attention and support. However, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, with a decline in 2023-2024 before a slight improvement in 2024-2025. This suggests the need for continued monitoring and targeted interventions to address the factors contributing to the school's performance and ensure its long-term success.
