Summary:
Raceland, Kentucky, has three schools serving preschool through grade 12: Campbell Elementary School (PK–2), Raceland-Worthington Middle School (grades 3–7) and Raceland-Worthington High School (grades 8–12). Together they enroll 1,091 students, with school enrollments ranging from 313 to 391. Campbell has no test results supplied, so test findings cover only the middle and high schools. Overall, the tested results are mixed: their average was close to the state average, but individual results ranged from 14 points above the state to 13 points below—a 27-point spread.
The strongest listed result was middle-school grade 7 math, where 53% were proficient versus 39% statewide, a 14-point lead. Other standouts were middle-school grade 7 reading (63% versus 50%) and high-school grade 11 writing (59% versus 47%). Results were weakest in middle-school grade 4 science, at 27% versus 40% statewide, and high-school grade 8 editing and mechanics, at 30% versus 42%; grade 8 reading was also below the state, 32% versus 40%. The high school’s completion figures are favorable: its graduation rate was 96% versus 94% statewide. However, chronic absenteeism was higher there, at 21%, compared with 11% at the middle school and 8% at the elementary school.
Results moved modestly closer to state performance overall: the average gap across the listed tests shifted from about 1 point below the state in 2024–25 to roughly even in 2025–26. That masks contrasting subject changes: science improved by about 10 points relative to the state, while editing and mechanics declined by about 10. SchoolDigger gave both tested schools four stars in 2025–26, ranking the high school 58th of 262 and the middle school 94th of 326; the middle school had ranked 232nd of 324 in 2023–24. Staffing ratios rise from 14.2 students per teacher in elementary to 18.4 in high school. Free/reduced lunch eligible rates were similar in 2024–25: 46% at elementary, 47% at middle and 46% at high school.
