Summary

Bullitt East High School is a public school serving 1,664 students in grades 9–12 in Mount Washington, in Bullitt County. Its results are mixed: math is a relative strength, while four of six current KSA subjects are below the state. The clearest overall finding is that graduation outcomes are strong despite those test-score gaps: the graduation rate is 98%, compared with 94% statewide and 97% in the district.

Math is the school’s strongest subject compared with the state, district, and nearby schools: 45% of students were proficient, versus 40% statewide and 36% districtwide, and the result ranks second among nearby schools, behind Spencer County High School. The school also generally compares well with nearby schools, ranking above the available peer average in five of six subjects. However, its results remain below the state in reading (44% versus 49%), writing (45% versus 47%), and editing and mechanics (35% versus 40%). Grade 11 science and social studies are the largest state gaps, each 9 points below the state; science is also just below the nearby-school average.

Results have changed unevenly: math rose 8 points from 2022–23 to 2025–26, while reading fell 1 point and writing rose 10 points overall after peaking in 2023–24. SchoolDigger places the school at the 39th percentile, or 2 stars, in 2025–26—down from the 77th percentile in 2023–24, with only a small recovery from 37th in 2024–25. Its student-teacher ratio was 19.5 in 2024–25, the highest among nearby traditional high schools with reported ratios. That year, 31% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, lower than at the other nearby traditional high schools. SchoolDigger’s effectiveness ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students was at the 15th percentile in 2025–26, down from the 69th percentile in 2023–24; its ranking for Hispanic Students was at the 21st percentile, down from the 77th percentile in 2022–23.
