Summary:

The Harrison County school district in Kentucky consists of 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The district is ranked 129 out of 157 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out in their academic performance. Westside Elementary School and Southside Elementary School consistently perform above the county and state averages on test scores, especially in mathematics and reading. In contrast, the high school and middle school in the district perform below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels. However, Harrison County High School has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 93.5%, which is higher than the state average.

The data also reveals some concerning trends across the district, such as high chronic absenteeism rates and significant disparities in spending per student and student-teacher ratios. These factors may contribute to the overall lower academic performance of the schools compared to the state. Addressing these challenges and identifying successful practices from the higher-performing schools could help the district improve educational outcomes for all students.
