The Academy

Public, Virtual Grades 6-12

Summary

The Academy is a public virtual high school located in Russellville, Kentucky, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 98 students. It is part of the Logan County School District, which is ranked 52 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The Academy faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance and student outcomes compared to nearby schools. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Kentucky high schools, with its performance on standardized tests significantly lower than the Logan County and state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, only 27% of 11th-grade students at The Academy were proficient or better in ACT English, compared to 49% in Logan County and 44% statewide. The school's four-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year is also significantly lower than the nearby Logan County High School, at 70.8% compared to 98.2%.

The high proportion of economically disadvantaged students at The Academy, with 79.59% receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, likely contributes to the school's lower academic performance and graduation rates. The Academy's performance also lags significantly behind that of other nearby schools, such as South Warren High School (ranked 15 out of 290) and Todd County Central High School (ranked 163 out of 290). Addressing these challenges and improving the school's academic performance and graduation rates will be crucial for The Academy to better serve its students and the Russellville community.
