Summary

Oldham County High School is a public high school in La Grange, Kentucky, serving 1,547 students in grades 9–12 in Oldham County. Its clearest strength is that it exceeded state proficiency rates in all six reported KSA subjects, with advantages ranging from 18 percentage points in editing and mechanics to 26 points in writing.

The school’s results are strong statewide but more mixed against nearby high schools and its district. It was above the average of four nearby traditional high schools in all six subjects, yet ranked third of five in math and reading and second in the other four subjects. Its writing result was 73%, 13 points above the nearby average; math was 60%, 6 points above. Among the nearby schools, SchoolDigger ranks North Oldham High School fourth and South Oldham High School sixth, ahead of Oldham County High’s seventh-place statewide rank. Within the district, Oldham County High was 2 points behind in math and 1 point behind in reading, slightly ahead in science and writing, and even in social studies and editing and mechanics.

Recent results show notable gains in reading and writing, but not across every subject: from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026, proficiency rose 11 points in reading and 16 points in writing, while editing and mechanics fell 4 points and science stayed at 42%. SchoolDigger gives the school 5 stars and a 97th-percentile ranking for 2025–2026, up from the 86th percentile in 2022–2023. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 21.4, and 26% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, close to the nearby-school average. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure for how well schools serve special education students was at the 40th percentile in 2025–2026, down from the 85th percentile in 2023–2024; the school’s overall percentile rose from 96 to 97 over those years. Its latest reported measure for English Language Learner students was at the 31st percentile in 2023–2024, compared with the school’s overall 96th percentile that year. These are school-effectiveness rankings, not measures of the students themselves.
