Summary

Calloway County Alternative Program is a public virtual high school serving grades 6-12 in Murray, Kentucky, with an enrollment of 100 students. While the Calloway County School District is ranked 29th out of 157 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating, the alternative program consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Kentucky high schools, indicating significant academic challenges.

The school's proficiency rates on state assessments like the KSA and ACT are significantly lower than the Calloway County district and the state of Kentucky averages. For example, in 2024-2025, only 9% of 10th graders were proficient in math, compared to 40% in the district and 41% statewide. Additionally, the school has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 15.2% to 29.8% in recent years, much higher than the typical 25% threshold. The alternative program also has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 65.22% to 67.44% in the last few years, indicating a high concentration of students from low-income backgrounds.

Despite these challenges, the alternative program is located very close (0.36 miles) to Calloway County High School, which is a much higher-performing school, ranking in the top 10-15% of Kentucky high schools. Additionally, while the Calloway County School District is ranked 29th, the nearby Mayfield Independent School District is ranked 68th, and the Murray Independent School District is ranked 5th, suggesting that the alternative program's struggles are not solely a function of its district's overall performance.
