Adair County


Summary:

The Adair County school district in Kentucky consists of 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is an alternative school). The data reveals a mix of performance levels across the district, with Adair County High School standing out as the highest-performing school, while the middle and elementary schools face more significant challenges.

Adair County High School ranks 125 out of 254 Kentucky high schools and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. It boasts a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 93.5% and outperforms the county and state averages in several subject areas, including 10th grade reading and math. In contrast, Adair County Middle School ranks 168 out of 320 Kentucky middle schools with a 2-star rating, though it does perform above the county and state averages in 6th grade math and reading.

The data also reveals high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients across all schools in the district, ranging from 63.82% at Adair County High School to 69.15% at Adair County Elementary School. Additionally, the district struggles with a consistently high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.0% across all schools, which likely contributes to the lower academic outcomes observed. The alternative school, Adair Learning Academy, also stands out with very low test scores and a 0-1 star rating, suggesting a need for additional support or resources to better serve its students.
