Russell County, Kentucky has only one high school, Russell County High School, which serves the entire county. The school has an enrollment of 860 students and is ranked 36 out of 157 districts in the state, with a 4 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Russell County High School appears to be a solid performer, with a 93.5% four-year graduation rate and a 1.1% dropout rate. The school's test scores are generally on par with or slightly above the state averages in areas like mathematics, writing, and ACT English, suggesting the school is providing a strong educational foundation. However, the school lags behind state averages in reading, science, and ACT reading, indicating potential room for improvement in these areas.

The school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with 67.79% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite this, the school maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.7 to 1, which may help provide more individualized attention and support. However, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.0% is a concern and an area that may require further investigation and intervention.
