High Schools in Caverna Independent

Caverna Independent school district in Kentucky has only one high school, Caverna High School, which serves grades 9-12. Based on the available data, Caverna High School appears to be a struggling school, performing well below the state average on various academic measures.

Caverna High School is ranked 210 out of 254 Kentucky high schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's graduation rate of 93.5% is slightly above the state average, but its dropout rate of 1.1% is relatively low. However, the school faces significant challenges, with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25% and consistently lower test scores compared to the state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 34% of 10th-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 41%.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $20,404 in the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than the state average, and a low student-teacher ratio of 11.9, the school's academic performance remains poor. This suggests that simply spending more money may not be the solution to improving educational outcomes. The high percentage of students (70.89%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year indicates that the school may be serving a population with significant economic disadvantages, which could be contributing to the low academic performance.
