Campbell County High School is a strong-performing school, consistently ranking among the top high schools in Kentucky over the past decade. The school's academic performance, as measured by standardized tests like the ACT and Kentucky State Assessments, is generally above the state average, particularly in certain student subgroups such as Hispanic and Gifted and Talented students. The school also maintains a high four-year graduation rate of 97.2%, significantly higher than the state average. However, the school faces some challenges, as nearby schools like Beechwood High School and Highlands High School, which are part of higher-ranked independent school districts, consistently outperform Campbell County High School in academic metrics.

Another factor that may impact the school's performance is its relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 41.01% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, the school's spending per student has decreased from $13,658 in the 2017-2018 school year to $13,004 in the 2018-2019 school year, which is lower than the spending levels of some nearby high-performing schools. Despite these challenges, Campbell County High School remains a strong-performing school within the state of Kentucky, with a focus on addressing these areas could help the school maintain and improve its academic excellence.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
