Summary:

Zip code 41822 has one high school, Knott County Central High School, serving grades 9–12 and enrolling 520 students. Its recent results show notable strengths and gaps by subject, while graduation and dropout rates are near or better than state figures. The most pressing concern is chronic absenteeism: 54% of students were chronically absent in 2025–2026, compared with 24% statewide, a 30-point gap.

Because this list has only one school, it cannot identify a local top or bottom school. Compared with Kentucky in 2025–2026, Knott County Central stood out most in 10th-grade reading, with 63% proficient versus 49% statewide, 14 points higher. Its clearest shortfall was 11th-grade writing: 33% versus 47%, 14 points lower. The school was also above the state in science and social studies by 6 points each, and editing and mechanics by 1 point; mathematics was 3 points below. Against Knott County, reading was 3 points lower, while science and social studies were each 1 point higher.

Results shifted in different directions over time: mathematics fell from 48% to 37% proficient from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while science rose from 18% to 29%. The school’s six-subject average edged up from 40% to 41%, and SchoolDigger’s reported percentile increased from 54 to 61 between 2023–2024 and 2025–2026. The school reported a student-teacher ratio of 12.6 in 2024–2025; 63% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that school year.
