Summary:
ZIP code 40383 has three high schools: Woodford County High School serves grades 9–12, while Woodford Virtual Learning Academy and Safe Harbor Academy serve grades 6–12. The schools are in the same Woodford County district, but their reported results differ sharply. The clearest overall finding is that Woodford County High leads the available proficiency results, while Safe Harbor’s very high chronic absenteeism is a notable concern.
Woodford County High is the strongest reported academic performer: in 2025–2026, it exceeded state proficiency in all six reported high-school subjects, by 7 to 21 percentage points. Where Virtual also has reported results, the gap was 41 points in grade 10 reading (70% versus 29%), 42 points in grade 11 social studies (50% versus 8%), and 33 points in grade 11 editing and mechanics (51% versus 18%). SchoolDigger ranked Woodford County High 29th of 262 schools, in the 89th percentile, and gave it four stars; Virtual ranked 245th, in the 6th percentile, with zero stars. Safe Harbor’s high-school proficiency scores are suppressed, so it cannot be ranked against the others from these results. Its chronic absenteeism rate, however, was 72%, compared with 24% statewide and 17% districtwide.
Woodford County High’s recent test trends are mixed: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, reading rose 13 points and math 3, while science fell 4 points, writing 7, social studies 9, and editing and mechanics 5. Its SchoolDigger percentile was 92 in 2023–2024, 93 in 2024–2025, and 89 in 2025–2026. It also reported a 100% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, though chronic absenteeism was about 24%, near the state rate and 6 points above the district. School size and context vary: enrollment is 1,223 at Woodford County High, 86 at Virtual, and 33 at Safe Harbor; student–teacher ratios are 16.7, 86, and 7.9, respectively. All three reported free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–2025: 42% at Woodford County High, 52% at Virtual, and 85% at Safe Harbor; these are context, not an explanation for school results.
