High Schools in Ohio County

Ohio County, Kentucky, has three high schools enrolling 1,064 students: Ohio County High School (1,018), Ohio County Day Treatment (25) and Ohio County Alternative Learning Program (21). The available achievement results cover grade 10 math and reading and grade 11 science, writing, social studies, and editing and mechanics. The largest school was above the state proficiency rate in all six subjects in 2025–2026, and its graduation rate was 97%, compared with 94% statewide. The most pressing area-wide concern is chronic absenteeism: rates at all three schools exceeded the state’s 24%.

Ohio County High School stands out in the available academic results: its six-subject average was 48%, versus 39% statewide, and its strongest relative result was writing, at 68% compared with 47% statewide. Its graduation rate was also 3 percentage points above the state rate. Attendance presents a less favorable comparison: chronic absenteeism was 32% at the high school, 40% at the Alternative Learning Program and 67% at Day Treatment. Day Treatment’s rate was 43 points above the state rate; the Alternative Learning Program’s was 17 points above. The smaller programs’ school-level test percentages are suppressed, so their academic performance cannot be ranked against the high school.

Results at Ohio County High School are mixed over time: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, proficiency rose 3 points in writing and 1 in science, but fell in the other four subjects, including 11 points in math.
