Summary

Trimble County Junior/Senior High School is a public high school located in Bedford, Kentucky, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 553 students. The school is part of the Trimble County School District, which is ranked 156 out of 157 districts in Kentucky and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Trimble County Junior/Senior High School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on various standardized tests, with proficiency rates in mathematics and reading for 10th grade at 20% and 40%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 41% and 47%. The school's four-year graduation rate has been around 90-93% in recent years, slightly lower than the state average, and its dropout rate has ranged from 0-1.3%, higher than the state's average. Additionally, the school has had a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 25% to 35.2% in recent years, and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 49.46% to 53.76%, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families.

When comparing Trimble County Junior/Senior High School to nearby schools, such as Eminence High School, Oldham County High School, Henry County High School, and Carroll County High School, it becomes evident that Trimble County lags behind in academic performance, graduation rates, and other key metrics. Despite the relatively high per-student spending at Trimble County Junior/Senior High School, the school's academic performance and other key metrics do not seem to reflect the higher investment, and the school's student-teacher ratio, ranging from 17.2 to 19.4, is higher than the nearby schools, which may contribute to the challenges in providing personalized attention and support to students.
