Summary

Iroquois High is a public magnet high school in Louisville, Kentucky, serving 1,146 students in grades 9-12. Despite its magnet status, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Kentucky high schools over the past several years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger indicating poor overall performance.

Iroquois High significantly underperforms the Jefferson County and Kentucky state averages on standardized tests across all subject areas, with proficiency rates below 20% in most subjects. The school's graduation rate is on par with the state average, but its dropout rate is higher. Iroquois High also has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate compared to the district and state. Interestingly, the school has a higher per-student spending level and a lower student-to-teacher ratio than the district and state averages, suggesting that resources may not be effectively utilized to improve student outcomes.

When compared to nearby schools, Iroquois High performs significantly worse than the highly ranked duPont Manual High and Louisville Male High, as well as Fairdale High, which also outperforms Iroquois in various metrics. The smaller, specialized schools like Liberty High and Georgia Chaffee Teenage Parent Program have higher per-student spending and lower student-to-teacher ratios, suggesting a focus on individualized attention.

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
