Summary:

The Frankfort Independent school district in Kentucky consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 high schools, and no middle schools or alternative schools. The data provides a detailed look at the performance and characteristics of these schools, highlighting several standout institutions.

Frankfort High School stands out as the highest performing school in the district, with a 93.5% 4-year graduation rate, the lowest dropout rate at 1.1%, and better-than-average test scores compared to the district and state. In contrast, Panther Transition Academy, a virtual high school, serves a more economically disadvantaged population with 68.75% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, yet still maintains a high 93.5% graduation rate.

Across the district, chronic absenteeism rates are consistently high, around 25%, which warrants further investigation and targeted interventions. Additionally, the wide range in free/reduced lunch percentages and spending per student, from $13,921 at Second Street School to $17,825 at Frankfort High School, suggests potential inequities in resource allocation and support for economically disadvantaged students across the district.
