Summary:
The city of Stanford, Kentucky is home to 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, 2 high schools (one of which is a virtual school), and 0 alternative schools. The schools in this area serve students across various grade levels and provide a range of educational opportunities.
Among the standout schools in Stanford is Patriot Academy, a virtual high school with a small student population of only 15 students. Despite its size, Patriot Academy boasts an impressive 93.5% four-year graduation rate, on par with the larger Lincoln County High School. Additionally, Patriot Academy has a very low student-teacher ratio of 5:1, suggesting personalized attention for its students. Stanford Elementary School also stands out, with 54% of 5th graders proficient or better in reading, outperforming the Lincoln County and state averages, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.3:1.
However, the Lincoln County school district as a whole appears to be struggling, with all four schools ranking in the bottom half of their respective state rankings and receiving only 2 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. The district's high schools, Lincoln County High School and Patriot Academy, have mixed academic performance, with Lincoln County High School's 10th grade math and reading proficiency below state averages, and Lincoln County Middle School struggling with math proficiency across grades 6-8. The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility and chronic absenteeism across all schools suggest that socioeconomic factors may be playing a significant role in the academic performance of these schools.
