Summary

Carroll County High School is a public high school located in Carrollton, Kentucky, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 582 students. The school is part of the Carroll County School District, which is ranked 157 out of 157 districts in Kentucky and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Carroll County High School consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Kentucky high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are significantly below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels, including mathematics, reading, science, and social studies. While the school's four-year graduation rate is around 93-94%, its dropout rate is higher, ranging from 0.6% to 1.3% in recent years. Additionally, Carroll County High School has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 25% to 32.6% in the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Henry County High School and Gallatin County High School, generally perform better than Carroll County High School on various metrics, including test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism. This suggests that the challenges faced by Carroll County High School may be unique to the school or the district. Additionally, the school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $13,744 to $16,198 in recent years, does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes, raising questions about the efficient allocation of resources and the need for targeted interventions to address the school's challenges.
