William Cofield High School

Public, Virtual Grades 6-12

Summary

William Cofield High School is a public virtual high school in Frankfort, Kentucky, serving grades 6-12 with a student population of 58. The school has a predominantly White student body, with 70.69% of students identifying as White in the current school year.

Despite its small size, William Cofield High School faces several challenges. The school ranks 158 out of 276 Kentucky high schools, placing it in the bottom half of the state's high schools with a 2 out of 5 stars rating from SchoolDigger. Its performance on ACT assessments for 11th-grade students is significantly lower than the Franklin County and state averages, with only 46% of students proficient or better in ACT English, compared to 55% in the county and 47% statewide. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 58.62%, which is much higher than nearby Western Hills High School (44.68%) and Franklin County High School (48.44%).

While William Cofield High School faces these challenges, it is located in close proximity to higher-performing schools, such as Woodford County High School and Franklin County High School, which outperform it in all ACT and Kentucky State Assessment (KSA) subject areas. This suggests that students at William Cofield High School may have access to educational resources and opportunities available at these neighboring schools, which could potentially benefit their academic achievement. However, as a public virtual high school, William Cofield High School may also face unique challenges in delivering effective instruction and fostering a supportive learning environment for its students, which may contribute to its low performance on academic assessments.
