High Schools in Elliott County

Elliott County, Kentucky has only one high school, Elliott County High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance data suggests it faces some challenges, particularly in academic achievement, but also has some strengths in terms of graduation and dropout rates.

Elliott County High School had a 93.5% four-year graduation rate in the 2024-2025 school year, which is higher than the state average. However, the school's test scores were generally lower than the state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 10th-grade proficiency rates were 25% in Mathematics and 42% in Reading, compared to the state averages of 41% and 47%, respectively. The school also had a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.0% in the 2024-2025 school year, which is higher than the state average.

Despite the lower test scores, Elliott County High School has a relatively low dropout rate of 1.1% in the 2024-2025 school year, which is lower than the state average. The school also has a higher-than-average spending per student at $17,980 in the 2023-2024 school year, and a lower student-teacher ratio of 11.5 in the same year. These factors suggest the school is investing resources in its students, but the lower test scores indicate these investments may not be translating into improved academic outcomes. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate and exploring ways to improve test scores could be areas of focus for the Elliott County school district.
