North Oldham High School

North Oldham High School serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 948 students in Goshen, in Oldham County. SchoolDigger ranks it 4th of 262 Kentucky schools for 2025–26, at the 98th percentile with five stars. The clearest takeaway for families is its consistently strong academic performance: North is above both the state and district in all six reported KSA subjects.

Writing is North’s standout subject: 85% of students were proficient, 38 points above the state, 13 above the district, and 12 above the highest of the three nearby conventional high schools. North also led those peers in science, social studies, and editing and mechanics. Its closest comparisons are math and reading: North was 3 points above the district in math and 2 points above in reading, while South Oldham High School scored slightly higher in both. North’s graduation rate was 99%, close to South Oldham’s 99%; chronic absenteeism was 19%, higher than the district’s 12% but lower than the state’s 24%.

North’s SchoolDigger percentile has eased from 100th in 2023–24 to 99th in 2024–25 and 98th in 2025–26, but it remains among Kentucky’s highest-ranked schools. Its KSA results have shifted by subject: writing rose 24 points from 2022–23 to 2025–26, while math finished 3 points lower than at the start, after reaching 74% in 2024–25. In 2024–25, 12% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with 21% at South Oldham, 26% at Oldham County High School, and 36% at Ballard High; this is context, not an explanation for results. North’s student-teacher ratio was 21.2, within the peer range of 19.0–22.1. One SchoolDigger subgroup result stands out: in 2024–25, the school ranked at the 84th percentile for serving Asian students, below its 99th-percentile overall ranking, though that subgroup percentile has improved from 73rd in 2022–23.
