Summary:

Washington County, Kentucky is home to two high schools: Washington County High School and Commander Academy. While both schools have impressive four-year graduation rates of 93.5%, they exhibit distinct academic performance profiles.

Washington County High School is a standout, ranking 60th out of 290 Kentucky high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently outperforms state and county averages in areas like writing, editing and mechanics, and ACT English proficiency. In contrast, Commander Academy, a public virtual high school, struggles with significantly lower reading proficiency scores for 10th graders compared to county and state benchmarks.

The data also reveals notable differences in the student populations served by these schools.

These contextual factors likely contribute to the varying academic performance observed between the two schools.
