Summary

Casey County High School is a public school in Liberty, Kentucky, serving 630 students in grades 9–12. Its 2025–2026 results show a contrast: graduation is strong, but academic performance is below the state in every tested subject. The most important concern is that proficiency was lower than the state’s in all six reported KSA subjects, by 1 point in writing and as much as 12 points in social studies.

Compared with its one nearby peer, Lincoln County High School, Casey was ahead in five of six KSA subjects. Writing was its strongest relative result: 46% proficiency, versus 36% at Lincoln and 47% statewide; social studies was weakest, at 25% versus 32% at Lincoln and 37% statewide. Casey’s reported test scores match those of the Casey County district. Graduation is another strength: 96% at Casey, compared with 98% at Lincoln and 94% statewide. Attendance is a concern, however: chronic absenteeism was 30%, compared with 34% at Lincoln and 24% statewide.

Results have weakened over time: between 2022–2023 and 2025–2026, five of six KSA subject scores fell, including a 19-point drop in social studies and a 13-point drop in writing. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking declined from the 81st percentile in 2023–2024 to the 29th percentile in 2025–2026; Casey is ranked 185th of 262 schools and has one star, slightly ahead of Lincoln’s 25th percentile. Both schools reported a 15.2 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025. That year, 65% of Casey students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with 67% at Lincoln. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well Casey serves low socioeconomic status students fell from the 65th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 22nd in 2025–2026, while the overall ranking fell from the 46th to the 29th percentile. Its special education ranking shifted sharply from the 4th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 94th in 2023–2024; no later result is provided.
