Summary:
The Frankfort Independent school district in Kentucky is home to two high schools: Frankfort High School and Panther Transition Academy. While both schools maintain relatively high graduation rates, they face challenges in areas such as test scores, chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic disparities.
Frankfort High School, the larger of the two, is ranked 184 out of 254 Kentucky high schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has shown some improvement in its ranking over the past few years, but its test scores remain below the state average in most subject areas. In contrast, Panther Transition Academy, a virtual high school with a smaller enrollment, is ranked 254th out of 271 Kentucky high schools and has a 0-star rating.
Both Frankfort High School and Panther Transition Academy have a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 25% for the 2024-2025 school year. Additionally, Panther Transition Academy serves a more economically disadvantaged student population, with 68.75% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, compared to 41.21% at Frankfort High School. These disparities suggest that the Frankfort Independent school district may have challenges in providing equitable and high-quality education across its high schools.
