Summary:

Campbell County has eight schools: five elementary schools, one middle school and two high schools, including an educational center serving grades 6–12. In 2025–26, elementary-school averages exceeded matching state averages in every reported subject—for example, math was 63% versus 43%, and reading was 67% versus 50%. The clearest takeaway is that strong area-wide averages mask a wide gap between elementary schools.

Donald E. Cline Elementary is the clearest standout, leading elementary schools in six grade-and-subject comparisons; its 85% in 3rd-grade reading was 12 points above the next-highest school. At the other end, Crossroads Elementary School had the lowest score in every reported elementary reading grade, and scored 44% in 3rd-grade reading—41 points below Cline. John W. Reiley Elementary School led in 4th-grade math, reading and science. Campbell County High School scored above the state in all six subjects, by 6–13 points. By comparison, Campbell County Middle School showed a mixed profile: math was 8–15 points above the state, but 7th-grade reading and science were 4 and 2 points below. Alexandria Educational Center’s school proficiency results are suppressed, so its test performance cannot be compared here.

Across matched results, scores rose by about 1 point per result on average, while state scores were essentially flat; changes varied by school, with Crossroads improving by 3 points on average and Reiley declining by 3. SchoolDigger’s rank-history percentiles also rose from 2023–24 to 2025–26 at Campbell County High (66th to 84th) and Cline (91st to 96th), while Reiley stayed at the 83rd percentile. All eight schools report free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–25: Cline’s was 34%, compared with 61% at Crossroads; these figures are context, not an explanation for results. Attendance is another notable difference: Alexandria’s chronic absenteeism was 42%, versus 24% statewide and 14% districtwide, while Campbell County High’s graduation rate was 99%.
