5^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 262 Kentucky High Schools

Better than 98% of Kentucky high schools

Summary

Corbin High School serves 820 students in grades 9–12 in Corbin, within Corbin Independent. Its 2025–26 results stand out: proficiency was higher than both state and district rates in all six tested subjects.

Among nearby schools with reported results, Corbin leads in five subjects and ties for first in editing and mechanics. In grade 10, it scored 57% in math and 73% in reading, ahead of the next-highest nearby results of 54% and 66%, respectively. In grade 11, it leads in science and social studies, ties in editing and mechanics, and is just behind South Laurel High School in writing, 72% to 73%. Its strongest lead over the state is in social studies, at 27 percentage points; its smallest is in math, at 17 points. Graduation is nearly universal—100% rounded, compared with 94% statewide—while chronic absenteeism is a concern: 29%, above the state’s 24% and district’s 19%.

Scores have risen over the available years, especially in science (up 20 points), social studies (17), and writing (16), though the state gap widened in four subjects; math is the only subject where that gap narrowed. SchoolDigger ranks Corbin 5th of 262 Kentucky schools, in the 98th percentile with five stars, and its overall percentile has climbed from 68 in 2020–21. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio is 17:1, higher than at Whitley County High School and Lynn Camp Middle High School. Also as context, 51% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25, the lowest share among the listed conventional high schools with the same measure. One SchoolDigger subgroup result is notably below the overall standing: special education students rank 25th of 84 (70th percentile, four stars), versus the school’s overall 98th percentile.
