Summary:
Zip code 40006 has one high school, Trimble County Junior/Senior High School, serving grades 7–12 and enrolling 541 students. In 2025–2026, its proficiency results were below Kentucky’s in all 10 reported subject-and-grade comparisons. For example, mathematics proficiency was 20% versus 40% statewide in grade 10 and 14% versus 39% in grade 8; grade 10 reading was 25% versus 49%. The below-state pattern across subjects and grades is the most important finding for families considering this school.
There is no local top or bottom school to compare: this is the only school listed. Its strongest relative subject area was Editing and Mechanics, where the grade 8 and 11 results averaged 33%, compared with 41% statewide, a 9-point gap. Mathematics was its weakest relative area, averaging 17% across grades 8 and 10 versus 40% statewide, a 23-point gap. Other measures offer a mixed picture: the 2025–2026 graduation rate was 96% versus 94% statewide, and the dropout rate was 0% versus 1%; chronic absenteeism was higher, at 30% versus 24%. Because only one school is listed and SchoolDigger’s ranking field changed by year, there is no local head-to-head comparison and ranking shifts are not a precise measure of achievement change.
Test results changed in mixed directions from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: across the 10 comparable results, the school average fell 2 points, from 27% to 25%, while the state average fell 1 point, from 43% to 42%; the average gap widened from 17 to 18 points. Reading in grade 8 rose 6 points, while reading in grade 10 fell 15 points. SchoolDigger ranked the school 229th of 262 high schools in 2025–2026 (13th percentile, 1 star), compared with 188th of 254 (26th percentile, 1 star) in 2024–2025. For context, its student-teacher ratio was 18.2 in 2024–2025, and 51% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that school year.
