Summary:
The Grant County school district in Kentucky consists of 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the schools, with Dry Ridge Elementary standing out as the top performer, while other schools like Mason-Corinth Elementary lag behind.
Dry Ridge Elementary has the highest proficiency rates in math, reading, and other subjects compared to the county and state averages. In contrast, Crittenden-Mt. Zion Elementary and Sherman Elementary have lower proficiency rates. Grant County High School also stands out, with a strong 93.5% four-year graduation rate and a low 1.1% dropout rate, despite lower proficiency rates than the state averages.
Across the district, high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 25% at all schools, and high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 65.73% at Grant County High School to 84.06% at Sherman Elementary, suggest significant economic challenges facing the student populations. The variation in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios may also contribute to the performance disparities observed between the schools.
