Summary:
The city of Cadiz, Kentucky is home to four schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Trigg County school district. While the district faces some systemic challenges, a few schools stand out in their performance.
Trigg County High School boasts a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 93.5% and a low dropout rate of 1.1%. However, test scores at the high school are generally below the state average, with only 31-47% of students proficient or better in various subjects. In contrast, Trigg County Middle School stands out for its strong performance in 8th grade math, with 51% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 40%. The middle school also maintains solid reading proficiency rates across grades 6-8.
Across the district, the schools face challenges related to student demographics and socioeconomic status. All four schools have a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 58.67% at Trigg County High School to 69.49% at Trigg County Primary School. This suggests a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may contribute to the district's overall lower academic performance and higher chronic absenteeism rate of 25%. Targeted interventions and support programs focused on these areas could potentially lead to improved outcomes for students in the Trigg County school district.
