241^st

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 262 Kentucky High Schools

Better than 8% of Kentucky high schools

Summary

ACCEL Academy enrolls 154 students in grades 6–12 in Burlington, in Northern Kentucky’s Boone County area. Its most important challenge is that every reported 2025–26 test result is below both district and state results.

The biggest gap with the district is in 10th-grade Mathematics: 14% of ACCEL students were proficient, compared with 52% districtwide and 40% statewide. Writing is its weakest reported result against the state: 17% in 11th grade, compared with 47%. Editing and Mechanics is the strongest relative result, at 22%—18 points below the state and 21 points below the district. ACCEL also had the lowest reported score among nearby schools in all five comparable categories: 10th-grade Mathematics and Reading, plus 11th-grade Writing, Social Studies and Editing and Mechanics. For example, its 14% in Mathematics was below the lowest nearby reported result, 20% at RISE Academy. SchoolDigger ranked ACCEL in the 8th percentile, the lowest among nearby schools with a 2025–26 ranking; those schools ranged from the 43rd to the 90th percentile.

Results over time are mixed: 11th-grade Writing rose from 5% in 2023–24 to 17% in 2025–26, while 10th-grade Reading ended at 31%, 6 points below its 2022–23 result of 37%. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking fell from the 25th percentile in 2022–23 to the 8th in 2025–26, and it assigns ACCEL zero stars. Its 25.6 students per teacher is the highest reported ratio among the nine nearby schools. In 2024–25, 57% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, close to the nearby-school average of 56%. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure for Low Socio Economic Status Students fell to the 3rd percentile in 2024–25, from the 29th in 2022–23, compared with the school’s overall 7th percentile that year; its Male Students measure was at the 1st percentile in 2025–26, versus the school’s overall 8th. Some 2025–26 test scores are state-suppressed, so those results cannot be compared.
