Summary

Todd County Central High School is a public school in Elkton, Kentucky, serving grades 9–12 with 500 students. The most important takeaway is that strong completion outcomes coexist with a serious attendance concern: in 2025–2026, 99% of students graduated and 0% dropped out, while chronic absenteeism was 31%—7 points above the state and 10 points above the Todd County district.

On the latest KSA results, the school stands out in Math, Science, and Editing and Mechanics: scores were 50%, 29%, and 45%, respectively, compared with 40%, 23%, and 40% statewide. It also scored 37% in Social Studies, equal to the state. Against the two nearby traditional high schools with reported scores, Logan County High School and Russellville High School, Todd County Central led in those four subjects. Reading and Writing are the weaker areas: its 51% in Reading trailed Logan’s 54% and Russellville’s 56%, while its 42% in Writing was below both schools’ 47% and 50%, as well as the state’s 47%. Writing was slightly above the district’s 41%. Nearby comparisons include only schools with reported scores.

Results have improved over the longer term, though recent scores show some setbacks. From 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, Math rose 25 points to 50%, Reading rose 12 points to 51%, and Social Studies rose 10 points to 37%; more recently, Math fell from 56% and Reading from 59%.
