Summary:
The city of Raceland, Kentucky is home to three schools that are part of the Raceland-Worthington Independent School District: one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school. These schools serve students from prekindergarten through 12th grade and have a mix of academic strengths and areas for improvement.
Raceland-Worthington High School stands out as a top performer, consistently ranking among the best high schools in Kentucky and outpacing the district and state averages in several subjects, including mathematics, reading, and writing. The school boasts a strong 93.5% four-year graduation rate and a low 1.1% dropout rate. In contrast, Raceland-Worthington Middle School has shown improvement, moving up in the statewide rankings, with test scores in mathematics and reading generally higher than the district and state averages.
While the schools in the district perform well in some areas, they face challenges in others. Science proficiency rates are well below the state average, and the high school's ACT mathematics performance is an area of concern, with only 24% of students meeting proficiency standards. Additionally, the district grapples with high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 25.0% to 25.0% across the schools. Despite these challenges, the district appears to be allocating significant resources to support student learning, with relatively high spending per student, ranging from $15,894 to $21,638 per student.
