Summary:
High schools in ZIP code 42023 consist of one school, Carlisle County High School, serving grades 9–12 and enrolling 184 students. Its 2025–2026 results show an uneven academic picture compared with Kentucky: the school was above the state in two subjects, but its clearest weakness was reading, where proficiency was 39% versus 49% statewide—a 10-point gap.
Because this is the only listed school, there is no local school-to-school top or bottom; its strongest state comparisons were social studies and editing and mechanics. In 2025–2026, 43% were proficient in social studies, 6 points above Kentucky’s 37%, and 45% in editing and mechanics, 5 points above the state’s 40%. Results were lower in science (16% versus 23%), writing (39% versus 47%), and math (39% versus 40%). The school’s reported graduation rate was 98%, compared with 94% statewide.
Results improved overall across five subjects reported in both years, though reading moved sharply in the opposite direction: the school’s average rose from 38% in 2024–2025 to 41% in 2025–2026, and its gap with the state narrowed from 5 points below to 2 points below. Reading fell 12 points, while math rose 2, writing 4, social studies 10, and editing and mechanics 12. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking rose from the 34th percentile (2 stars) in 2024–2025 to the 44th percentile (2 stars) in 2025–2026, but remained below its 57th-percentile, 3-star result in 2023–2024. The student-teacher ratio was 12.2 in 2024–2025, and 54% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year; these are useful context, not explanations for results.
