Summary:
The city of Maysville, Kentucky is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the schools in the Mason County district have shown some areas of strength, they generally perform below the state averages in academic achievement.
Mason County High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 93.5% and a low dropout rate of 1.1%, but its test scores are below the state averages in most subject areas. In contrast, Charles Straub Elementary and Mason County Intermediate have struggled to maintain high rankings, with test scores that vary across grade levels. The district's middle school, Mason County Middle School, has also seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years.
A common challenge across the district is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 25%, which is significantly above the state average. Additionally, the schools serve a high percentage of students from low-income families, with free or reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 59.91% at Mason County High School to 69.27% at Charles Straub Elementary. While the district's spending per student varies, the data suggests that addressing these socioeconomic factors and improving attendance may be key to driving better academic outcomes for students in the Mason County school district.
