Summary:
Hart County has six schools serving 2,322 students: five elementary schools for prekindergarten through grade 8 and one high school for grades 9–12. The main contrast in the 2025–2026 results is clear: Hart County High School scored above the state in all six reported subjects, while the elementary schools’ combined averages were below the state in all six.
Among elementary schools, Cub Run has the strongest SchoolDigger ranking, at the 49th percentile, and a competitive overall math average: 40% compared with 42% on the same grade results statewide. Its results vary by grade, however: it was 17 points above the state in grade 6 math but 27 points below in grade 8. Legrande stands out in grade 6 reading, with 71% proficiency versus 54% statewide, but was below the state in grade 4 and grade 8 reading. Munfordville led in grade 8 reading and writing, at 51% and 67%. The weakest pooled elementary comparison was Editing and Mechanics, 13 points below the state; results also differed sharply within grades, including a 40-point spread in grade 5 Editing and Mechanics, from Cub Run at 61% to Munfordville at 21%.
Elementary results changed unevenly over time: across matched test results, the average school score fell 3 points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while the average state result was nearly unchanged; Legrande had the largest average decline, 13 points. SchoolDigger’s percentile rankings also diverged: Hart County High School rose from the 56th to the 72nd percentile, while Munfordville fell from the 38th to the 16th. Context measures do not point to a simple pattern: 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible shares ranged from 49% at Legrande and Cub Run to 71% at Memorial; elementary student-teacher ratios ranged from 12.5 to 14.3. The high school’s strong results also coexist with 33% chronic absenteeism, compared with 24% statewide.
