Summary

Located in Georgetown, Kentucky, Scott County High School is a public high school serving 1,353 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Scott County School District, which is ranked 73 out of 157 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Scott County High School has consistently ranked among the top 100 high schools in Kentucky, with strong academic performance on state assessments and the ACT exam, particularly in reading and writing. The school maintains a high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 92.0% to 94.6% over the past few years, which is above the state average. However, the school has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.5% to 30.2%, which is an area of concern that may be impacting overall student engagement and performance.

When compared to nearby schools, Scott County High School's performance is generally stronger than that of the smaller Phoenix Horizon Community school, but slightly lower than the larger and higher-performing Great Crossing High School, also within the Scott County School District. The school has seen an increase in per-student spending over the past few years, which may have contributed to its overall academic performance and ability to support various student subgroups.
