High Schools in Paducah Independent

The Paducah Independent school district contains a single high school, Paducah Tilghman High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has been mixed, with fluctuating statewide rankings and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, but it maintains a higher-than-average four-year graduation rate.

Academically, Paducah Tilghman High School performs better than the district and state averages in reading proficiency, but lags behind in mathematics, science, writing, and ACT assessment scores. The school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and lower-than-average student-teacher ratio, these resources do not seem to be translating into consistently strong academic outcomes.

Overall, Paducah Tilghman High School has room for improvement in several areas, particularly in academic achievement and addressing the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population. The school's performance should be closely monitored, and targeted interventions and support may be necessary to help the school improve its outcomes.
