Summary

Great Crossing High School in Georgetown, Kentucky, serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 1,677 students, the largest enrollment among the nearby schools listed; it is in Scott County, whose district earns three stars from SchoolDigger. The school’s latest test results are above state proficiency rates in all six reported subjects, but the closest traditional high-school comparison is mixed. The main takeaway is that Great Crossing stands out in science, while writing is its clearest weakness against Scott County High School.

Great Crossing’s strongest statewide advantage is in social studies, where 49% met proficiency compared with 37% statewide; science is also well above the state, 32% versus 23%. Against Scott County High, science is Great Crossing’s biggest strength: 32% versus 24%, an 8-point lead. Writing is its largest gap in the other direction, with 51% proficient compared with 60% at Scott County High; Great Crossing is also 5 points behind in math. Compared with the district, Great Crossing is 4 points ahead in science but 3 points behind in writing. Attendance is another concern: chronic absenteeism is 29%, above the district’s 21% and the state’s 24%, and nearly the same as Scott County High’s 29%.

Results have improved substantially in science and writing: science rose 20 points, from 12% in 2022–2023 to 32% in 2025–2026, while writing rose 13 points, from 38% to 51%. Reading fell 3 points over that period. SchoolDigger ranks Great Crossing 52nd of 262 Kentucky high schools, at the 80th percentile with four stars—up from the 71st percentile the prior year, but just behind Scott County High’s 82nd percentile and four stars. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio is 20.7, compared with 19.8 at Scott County High. In 2024–2025, 39% of Great Crossing students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with 50% at Scott County High. SchoolDigger’s group rankings show notably different relative standing: African American students are at the 89th percentile, while homeless students are at the 18th percentile, compared with the school’s overall 80th percentile; these rankings describe standing relative to the same groups statewide.
