Summary

W.E.B. DuBois Academy serves 477 students in grades 6–12 in Louisville’s Jefferson County, with a student-teacher ratio of 12.7. Its 2025–2026 results show a mixed academic picture: reading proficiency was higher than Jefferson County’s in every reported grade, but below state results in each. The clearest concern is eighth-grade writing: 19% of students were proficient, compared with 32% districtwide and 48% statewide.

Reading is a relative strength against nearby and district results, though not consistently against the state. Grade 7 reading was 49%, 10 points above the district and just 1 point below the state; grade 10 reading was 40%, second-highest among nearby schools with reported scores, behind Atherton High and Louisville Male High. Writing results vary by grade: grade 11 was 40%, above the district by 8 points but below the state by 7. In grade 11 social studies, the school’s 18% tied with Southern High for the lowest score among five nearby schools with results. Chronic absenteeism was 31.7%, close to the district’s 31.6% but above the state’s 23.5%.

Some middle-grade scores have improved, but the gains are uneven: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, grade 6 math and reading each rose 24 points, while grade 8 math rose 20 points. In contrast, grade 8 writing fell 11 points, and grade 7 math slipped 1 point. SchoolDigger ranks the school 210th of 262 Kentucky schools, at the 20th percentile and 1 star, for 2025–2026. Its 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible share was 61.8%, the second-lowest among 11 nearby schools. One notable SchoolDigger subgroup result is its effectiveness ranking for African American Students: the 63rd percentile, well above the school’s overall 20th-percentile standing.
