Summary

Trigg County High School is a public high school located in Cadiz, Kentucky, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 617 students. The school is part of the Trigg County School District, which is ranked 112 out of 157 districts in Kentucky and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Trigg County High School has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 90.7% to 93.5% over the past few years, which is on par with or slightly higher than the nearby schools. However, the school's test scores in various subjects, such as Mathematics, Reading, and Writing, have been mixed compared to the state averages. While the school performs better than the state in some areas, such as Editing and Mechanics, it lags behind in others, like Mathematics and Reading. Additionally, Trigg County High School has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.6% to 28.0% in recent years, which is a concern and may impact student performance.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Caldwell County High School and Hopkinsville High School, Trigg County High School generally performs at a lower level in terms of state rankings, test scores, and other key metrics. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the ranking for Special Education students being relatively high, while the rankings for African American, Gifted and Talented, and Low Socioeconomic Status students are lower, indicating potential equity issues. Addressing the underlying causes of chronic absenteeism and ensuring adequate funding and resources will be crucial for the school to improve and provide a high-quality education for its students.
