Summary

East Ridge High School in Lick Creek serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 360 students in Pike County, whose SchoolDigger district ranking is 20th of 158, at the 87th percentile with 4 stars.

Academic results are mixed, with Editing and Mechanics the clearest strength and Social Studies the weakest comparison with nearby schools. In 2025–26, East Ridge’s Editing and Mechanics score was 52%, above the state at 40% and district at 45%, and around the nearby-school average of 51%. Social Studies was 34%, below the state’s 37% and the district’s 40%, and 15 points below the nearby-school average of 49%. East Ridge was above the state in four of six subjects, but ahead of the district in only Math and Editing and Mechanics. Reading also trails many nearby schools: its 53% was below the district’s 57% and the nearby average of 61%, despite being above the state’s 49%.

Scores have improved in several subjects, especially Reading, which rose 31 points from 2023–24 to 2025–26; Math gained 24 points and Editing and Mechanics 11. Social Studies moved the other way, falling 4 points. SchoolDigger ranks East Ridge 91st of 262 Kentucky schools, at the 65th percentile with 3 stars, up 20 percentile points from the prior year.
