Summary:
Georgetown, Kentucky, has three high schools in the Scott County district: Great Crossing High School and Scott County High School serve grades 9–12, while Phoenix Horizon Community serves grades 6–12. They enroll 1,677, 1,392 and 83 students, respectively. Phoenix has current scores in only two subjects; its other four results are state-suppressed. The clearest overall finding is that the two larger schools scored above the state in all six reported subjects, averaging about 48% proficiency compared with about 39% statewide—a gap of about 9 percentage points.
Scott County leads Great Crossing in four subjects: math (50% vs. 45%), reading (60% vs. 59%), writing (60% vs. 51%) and social studies (50% vs. 49%). Writing is its biggest lead, at 9 points. Great Crossing leads in science (32% vs. 24%) and editing and mechanics (48% vs. 47%). Phoenix is lowest among schools with results in social studies (13%) and editing and mechanics (27%); its results in those subjects are also below the state’s 37% and 40%, respectively.
Both larger schools’ average results improved from 2024–25 to 2025–26: by about 4 points at Great Crossing and 3 at Scott County, while the state average was essentially flat. Progress was not uniform: Great Crossing’s math result fell 3 points, even as its writing rose 10. SchoolDigger ranks Scott County 48th of 262 statewide (82nd percentile, 4 stars) and Great Crossing 52nd (80th percentile, 4 stars); Phoenix ranks 231st (12th percentile, 1 star). As context, in 2024–25, 50% of Scott County students and 39% of Great Crossing students were free/reduced lunch eligible, a difference of 11 points; that comparison does not explain their different subject results.
