Summary:
ZIP code 40383 has seven schools: three elementary schools, one middle school and three high schools, serving students from elementary through high school. In 2025–26, results at the elementary schools were generally above state levels, and the reported results at Woodford County Middle School and Woodford County High School were above state levels in every tested comparison. The most important takeaway is that the two high-school options have sharply different reported results.
Woodford County High School stands out: its scores were 7 to 21 points above state results across six tests, including 70% in grade 10 reading and 50% in grade 11 social studies. By comparison, the three numeric results at Woodford Virtual Learning Academy were 20 to 29 points below state; the gap between the high school and virtual academy was 41 points in grade 10 reading, 42 in grade 11 social studies and 33 in editing and mechanics. SchoolDigger ranked the high school 29th of 262 statewide (89th percentile) and the virtual academy 245th (6th percentile). Among elementary schools, Southside Elementary School led in five of ten grade-and-subject comparisons; Simmons Elementary School led in three and Huntertown Elementary School in two. The largest elementary-school spread was 19 points in grade 5 social studies.
Matched results moved only slightly closer to state levels from 2024–25 to 2025–26—about 1 point on average—but varied by school: the average gap improved by 3 points at Woodford County Middle School and 4 at Simmons Elementary School, while it narrowed by 2 points at Woodford County High School and Southside Elementary School. For 2024–25, free/reduced lunch eligibility was 41% at Southside, 44% at Huntertown and 72% at Simmons; their average gaps above state results were 13, 10 and 7 points, respectively, a context that does not explain individual outcomes. Safe Harbor Academy has no reportable test scores, and the virtual academy has only a few numeric results.
