Summary

Eminence High School serves 551 students in grades 6–12 in Eminence, Kentucky, and its results show a clear difference between the high-school grades and middle grades. High-school test performance is strong, but the most important caution for families is that middle-grade math and reading are below state results in most available comparisons, especially in grade 7.

High-school results are a strength: in 2025–2026, the school was above the state in all six reported subject comparisons, with its largest leads in grade 10 reading (65%, 16 points above the state) and grade 11 writing (60%, 13 points above). It also exceeded nearby-school averages in all six comparisons, although Oldham County High School scored higher in each. By contrast, six of eight available middle-grade math and reading results were below the state; grade 7 math was 29% versus 39%, and reading was 39% versus 50%. The school matched Eminence Independent’s reported proficiency figures in every subject and grade provided.

Math proficiency improved across all reported grades from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026, but reading trends were mixed: grade 7 fell 10 points and grade 8 fell 11, while grade 10 reading rose from 41% to 65% in the latest year. SchoolDigger ranks the school 51st of 262 Kentucky schools, in the 81st percentile with 4 stars; its percentile rose from 44 to 81 in the latest year, after standing at 72 the year before. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well it serves students with low socioeconomic status also rebounded, from the 45th percentile to the 82nd; its latest White Students ranking was the 64th percentile, 17 points below the overall ranking. The 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 13.3, and 41% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Strong graduation results (95%) coexist with a concern: chronic absenteeism reached 25% in 2025–2026, above the state’s 24% and the district’s 21%.
