Summary

Trimble County Junior/Senior High School serves 541 students in grades 7–12 in Bedford, Kentucky. Its latest available KSA results show particular challenges in math and reading: grade 10 students scored 20% proficient in math and 25% in reading, compared with 40% and 49% statewide. The school’s results match those of the Trimble County district. The most important finding is that every available school result is below the corresponding state and district result.

Trimble’s available results also lag nearby schools, though editing and mechanics is a relative bright spot. In grade 10, its math score of 20% is below the 21%–60% range among nearby schools with reported results, and its 25% in reading is 10 points below the lowest reported nearby score. Its grade 11 social studies score, 18%, is below the nearby range of 25%–57%. Editing and mechanics is closer to the state: Trimble scored 34% in grade 8 and 31% in grade 11, still 8 and 9 points below state results. The school’s 96% graduation rate is above the state’s 94%, and its dropout rate is 0%, compared with 1% statewide. However, chronic absenteeism is 30%, above the state’s 24% and the district’s 25%.

Results over time are mixed: grade 8 reading improved from 14% to 24%, while grade 10 reading fell from 36% to 25%; grade 11 social studies also declined, from 27% to 18%. SchoolDigger ranks Trimble 229th of 262 Kentucky schools, in the 13th percentile with 1 star—the lowest percentile among these six nearby schools. Its percentile has dropped 45 points from its 2022–2023 high of 58. For context, Trimble’s student-teacher ratio is 18.2, compared with a nearby-school average of 15.3.
