High Schools in Clark County

Clark County, Kentucky is home to a single high school, George Rogers Clark High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past few years, ranking 107th out of 254 Kentucky high schools. While the school's 4-year graduation rate of 93.5% is above the state average, it faces challenges with a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 25.0%.

Academically, George Rogers Clark High School has mixed performance. The school's proficiency rates on the Kentucky State Assessments (KSA) are generally on par with or slightly above the Clark County and state averages in subjects like Reading, Writing, and Social Studies, but lag behind in Mathematics and Science. On the ACT assessments, the school's proficiency rates are also close to the county and state averages in English and Reading, but lower in Mathematics.

The school's student population faces socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage (55.16%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This may contribute to the school's attendance and academic performance issues. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $15,478, the student-teacher ratio of 18.8 is slightly higher than the state average, suggesting that resources may not be fully optimized for student learning and engagement. Overall, George Rogers Clark High School is making steady progress, but still has room for improvement in addressing its academic and socioeconomic challenges.
