Summary

Iroquois High serves 1,301 students in grades 9–12 in Louisville’s Jefferson County. In 2025–2026, chronic absenteeism was 57%, compared with 32% in Jefferson County and 24% statewide; graduation was 82%, versus 89% and 94%. Most importantly, 10th-grade math and reading proficiency was 9% and 11%, far below district results of 29% and 36% and state results of 40% and 49%.

The school’s reported scores also trail nearby schools, though its relative results vary by subject. In 2025–2026, math proficiency was 9%, compared with a 32% nearby-school average; reading was 11% versus 44%; social studies was 9% versus 35%; and editing and mechanics was 6% versus 39%. Social studies was its strongest relative subject against district and state results (9%, compared with 28% and 37%). Editing and mechanics was its weakest against nearby schools: the school’s score was 33 points below their reported average. Science and writing scores for 2025–2026 are suppressed, so they cannot be assessed.

Some indicators have improved, but concerns remain. Chronic absenteeism declined from 72% in 2022–2023 to 57% in 2025–2026, while graduation slipped from 85% in 2023–2024 to 82% in 2025–2026. SchoolDigger ranked Iroquois 261st of 262 Kentucky schools in 2025–2026, at the 0th percentile with 0 stars. One notable exception is its English Language Learner Students ranking: 50th percentile, 6th of 12 schools, and 3 stars—much stronger than its overall standing, though based on a small comparison group. In 2024–2025, 78% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; that was second-highest among nearby schools with the same measure. The student-teacher ratio was 16:1, close to the 16.2:1 average for nearby traditional high schools.

Open Quote As an employee I would NEVER even consider recommending anyone send their child here or work here. It's one of the worst places I have ever had the displeasure of being. The administration is totally out of touch. Students engage in some the worst behaviors I have ever seen tolerated in any school. Close Quote
