Summary:
ZIP code 41301 has one high school, Wolfe County High School, serving grades 9–12 with 333 students. Its 2025–2026 graduation rate was strong at 98%, compared with 94% statewide, but chronic absenteeism was 48% versus 24% statewide. The most important concern is that Mathematics and Reading proficiency were each 17 points below Kentucky’s results, alongside much higher chronic absenteeism.
There are no schools to compare as local leaders or trailers because this is the only high school in the list. Within the school’s reported results, Writing stood out as closest to the state: 46% proficient compared with 47% statewide. Mathematics and Reading were furthest behind, at 23% versus 40% and 32% versus 49%, respectively; Social Studies was 5 points lower and Editing and Mechanics 8 points lower. The Science result was suppressed, so there is no school score to compare. SchoolDigger gave the school 1 star and ranked it 195th of 262 Kentucky high schools, at the 26th percentile.
Results across the five subjects reported in both years declined overall: the school’s average fell from 39% in 2024–2025 to 33% in 2025–2026, while the state average stayed nearly flat, moving from 42% to 43%; the school’s gap widened by 7 points. Reading had the sharpest decline, falling 18 points, from 50% to 32%. SchoolDigger’s ranking also moved down, from the 37th percentile and rank 160 of 254 in 2024–2025 to the 26th percentile and rank 195 of 262 in 2025–2026. For context, the school’s 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 13.9, and 75% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that school year. Because the list includes only one school, it cannot show how results compare among schools within the ZIP code.
