Summary:

Woodford County has eight schools—four elementary, one middle and three high schools—with 4,064 students across the elementary, middle and high school grades. The overall picture is favorable against state benchmarks: the elementary schools’ average is above the state in all six tested subjects, and Woodford County Middle School and Woodford County High School are above the state in every listed result. The most important takeaway is that results vary considerably by school, grade and subject, so area-wide averages can hide important differences.

Woodford County Middle School stands out for consistency, including grade 7 reading at 66% versus 50% statewide. Woodford County High School also has strong reported results, led by grade 10 reading at 70% versus 49% statewide. Elementary strengths differ: Southside Elementary School leads grade 4 math (64%) and grade 5 reading (70%); Northside Elementary School leads grade 3 reading (72%) but has the lowest grade 4 math (34%) and grade 5 writing (23%). Huntertown Elementary School leads grade 5 writing (50%), while Simmons Elementary School leads grade 3 and grade 5 math. The reported results at Woodford Virtual Learning Academy are much lower: 20 points below the state in grade 10 reading, 29 below in grade 11 social studies and 22 below in grade 11 editing/mechanics; the listed scores for Safe Harbor Academy are suppressed, as are several virtual academy results.

Across 52 results available in both years, the average school-to-state advantage widened from 8 to 9 points between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, though individual results moved in different directions: Northside grade 3 reading rose 24 points, while Southside grade 5 writing fell 19. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile ranking rose from 70th to 76th for the middle school and from 80th to 82nd for Southside, but fell from 74th to 56th for Northside. School context also varies: in 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 41% at Southside and 72% at Simmons, yet Simmons led in two math results. These figures describe context, not a reason for test outcomes.
