About our rankings:

* Private schools are not used in determining city rank.
Schooldigger calculates school rankings based on test scores released by the Kentucky Department of Education.
These rankings were last updated on October 31, 2019, and are based on the most recent test scores available. We update rankings as we receive new test scores from the Kentucky Department of Education, usually on a yearly basis.
Our sources of data include the National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Department of Education and the Kentucky Department of Education.
For more information about our ranking process, please see our Ranking FAQ. Details about our methodology are here.
