Summary:

Scott County has 15 schools, from elementary through high school; Phoenix Horizon Community serves grades 6–12. The 2025–2026 results show that many middle- and high-school results are above state levels on average, while elementary results vary sharply from school to school. The clearest takeaway for families is that a countywide picture can hide very different experiences, especially in elementary grade 5 writing, where school results span 53 points.

Among elementary schools, Western leads grade 3 reading at 73% and is strong in grade 5 writing at 59%; Stamping Ground leads grade 5 math at 64%, and Eastern leads grade 5 editing and mechanics at 78%. At the other end, Southern recorded 6% in grade 5 writing, compared with 35% statewide. Scott County Middle is the clearest middle-school standout: its grade 8 writing score was 81%, versus 48% statewide and 59% at the next-highest middle school. Georgetown Middle was lower at 38% in grade 8 writing and 32% in editing and mechanics. Both regular high schools were above the state in all six tested subjects.

Recent changes are mixed, but some schools made notable gains: Creekside improved in every paired result except grade 5 writing, which fell from 35% to 30%; Northern raised grade 3 reading from 40% to 71%. SchoolDigger’s average statewide percentile ranking across the 15 schools rose from 51 to 55 between 2023–2024 and 2025–2026, though some schools’ rankings fell. School characteristics alone do not identify stronger results: Scott County Middle has a 17.1 student-teacher ratio, compared with Georgetown Middle’s 13.9, yet scored higher across many matched results. In 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible figures were 58% at Northern and 57% at Creekside, alongside SchoolDigger percentile ranks of 75 and 40; these are observations, not explanations for results.
