High Schools in Fort Thomas Independent


Summary:

The Fort Thomas Independent school district in Kentucky is home to one exceptional high school, Highlands High School. This school has consistently ranked among the top 4 high schools in the state, earning a 5-star rating from School Digger and boasting an impressive 98.4% four-year graduation rate, far exceeding the state average.

Highlands High School's students significantly outperform their peers across Kentucky in a variety of subject areas, including ACT English, Math, and Reading, as well as the Kentucky State Assessments. For instance, in 2023-2024, 80% of Highlands High School students were proficient or better in ACT English, compared to the state average of just 44%. This level of academic excellence is likely supported by the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 18.1 and higher per-student spending of $14,259 in 2018-2019, both of which are more favorable than the state averages.

While the school's demographics suggest a relatively affluent student population, with only 9.26% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the consistent high performance of Highlands High School serves as a model for other schools in the region and the state. The school's sustained excellence over the past three years, coupled with its exceptional test scores and graduation rates, make it a standout educational institution within the Fort Thomas Independent district.
