Summary

Edmonson County High School is a public school in Brownsville serving grades 9–12, with 546 students. Its latest graduation rate is strong at 97% in 2025–2026, compared with 94% statewide, but 33% of students were chronically absent, versus 24% statewide. The clearest academic concern is Reading: 41% of 10th-graders were proficient, 8 points below the state’s 49%.

The school stands out in Editing and Mechanics, Mathematics and Science: its 2025–2026 results were 47%, 43% and 27%, respectively, each the highest reported among nearby schools. Those scores were also above the state by 7 points in Editing and Mechanics, 3 in Mathematics and 4 in Science; the supplied results for Edmonson County match the school’s in these subjects. Reading was more mixed locally: the school’s 41% was below Warren East at 44%, but above Warren Central at 40% by 1 point and Caverna at 25%. Writing and Social Studies were also below the state, by 3 points each. Some nearby school scores were not reported, so “highest” refers to the highest reported result.

Results have shifted unevenly: since 2022–2023, Mathematics rose 10 points and Reading fell 7, while Reading’s state comparison changed from 2 points above the state to 8 below. SchoolDigger ranks the school 116th of 262 statewide, at the 56th percentile with 3 stars in 2025–2026; that percentile rose 10 points from the prior year, while the district ranks at the 85th percentile with 4 stars. The 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 15.5, and 58% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s Special Education Students ranking shifted sharply, from the 4th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 77th in 2023–2024, while the school’s overall rankings those years were at the 62nd and 59th percentiles.

Open Quote Edmonson County High School is one of the best here. I have been to other schools but none make me feel as welcome or safe as ECHS. EC has amazing academics and has made greatfull strides in the last couple of years. Edmonson may not get as much credit as the other local schools but EC has true pride that shows throughout teachers and students at every game or anything that has to do with us, the students. Every classroom has a greatfull atmosphere. It's great and every student should have a chance to experience the magnitude if greatness that this school has to offer in its suburban setting and laid back life style. Close Quote
