The 42141 zip code area is home to three high schools: Barren County High School, Glasgow High School, and Success Academy. These schools serve students in grades 9-12 and are located within the Barren County and Glasgow Independent school districts.
Among the three schools, Barren County High School stands out as the top performer, with a 3-star statewide rating and consistently strong academic metrics. The school performs above the state average on measures like test scores and graduation rates. Glasgow High School also performs reasonably well, with a 3-star rating, but lags behind Barren County in several areas. In contrast, Success Academy is the weakest performer, with a 0-star rating and significantly lower test scores compared to the other two schools and the state averages.
Across all three schools, the high chronic absenteeism rates, around 25%, are a concern that likely impacts student learning and achievement.
