Summary:
The city of Eddyville, Kentucky is home to three public schools serving students from elementary through high school: Lyon County Elementary School, Lyon County High School, and Lyon County Middle School. These schools are part of the Lyon County school district and have shown varying levels of academic performance based on statewide rankings, test scores, and other key metrics.
Among the three schools, Lyon County Middle School stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking among the top 28-51 middle schools in Kentucky over the past three years and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger in the most recent two years. The school's test scores are significantly above the state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels, indicating strong academic achievement. In contrast, while Lyon County Elementary School and Lyon County High School have also performed well, they do not demonstrate the same level of academic excellence as the middle school, with more fluctuations in their statewide rankings and mixed test score performance compared to state averages.
Across the three schools, key metrics and statistics reveal some areas of strength and concern. All three schools have high chronic absenteeism rates, around 25%, which is a concerning issue that may require further attention and intervention. However, the dropout rates are low, with both the middle and high school reporting 1.1% dropout rates. Additionally, Lyon County High School has a strong 93.5% four-year graduation rate. The schools also serve a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the varying percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 42.66% at the high school to 51.61% at the elementary school.
