Summary

Scott High School serves grades 9–12 in Taylor Mill, Kentucky, in Kenton County, and has 1,017 students. Its clearest academic pattern is unevenness by subject: writing and reading stand out, while science is the most consistent weakness.

Writing is the school’s strongest result compared with nearby schools, its district and the state. In 2025–2026, 60% of 11th graders were proficient in writing, versus 53% in Kenton County and 47% statewide; that was also the highest score among the six nearby traditional high schools with reported results. Reading was another strength: 60% were proficient, compared with 58% districtwide and 49% statewide, ranking second among those nearby schools. Science needs the most attention: 20% were proficient, below the district’s 24% and the state’s 23%, and fifth among the six nearby schools. Math was strong compared with the state (53% versus 40%), but just below the district’s 54%.

Results have risen in math, reading and writing since 2023–2024, including an 11-point gain in math and a 15-point gain in writing; science moved in the opposite direction, falling 6 points from 2024–2025. Graduation was 97% in 2025–2026, but chronic absenteeism was 23%, about 10 points higher than the district’s 13%. SchoolDigger ranked the school 78th of 262 in Kentucky, in the 70th percentile, with 4 stars for 2025–2026; its 20.3 student-teacher ratio was the second highest among the six nearby traditional schools. The free/reduced lunch eligible rate was 42% in 2024–2025. One notable SchoolDigger subgroup result: its statewide measure of how well the school serves students receiving special education rose from the 19th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 65th percentile in 2024–2025, seven points below the school’s overall percentile that year.

What people are saying

Wednesday, April 16, 2014

I have a daughter at Scott High and I have concerns with her being able to cope when she gets to college. I don't beleive she will be prepared. It seems that everytime my daughter gets a bad grade on a paper or test, she is able to re-do it and alot of times, they let her do it at home with books, notes or answers she's been given. Her study habits are terrible but then she's not too worried about the first grade she gets because she will be able to do it over. When I voice my concern to the teachers, they don't see the problem. If I didn't have to work full-time, I would be home schooling her. Close Quote
