Summary:

Zip code 42743 has four Green County schools serving preschool through grade 12: Green County Primary School (PK–2), Green County Intermediate School (3–5), Green County Middle School (6–8), and Green County High School (9–12). Together they enroll 1,675 students. The supplied test data covers three schools; Primary has no test scores here. The clearest overall finding is that the tested schools vary substantially in their results relative to Kentucky, with High’s average margin strongest.

Green County High School leads the tested schools, averaging 9 points above the state across its six subject results in 2025–2026; its strongest result was 11th-grade writing, 29 points above the state. Green County Intermediate School is at the other end, averaging 10 points below the state across ten results, including fifth-grade writing 32 points below. Green County Middle School falls between them, averaging 3 points above the state, with writing and editing/mechanics as relative strengths. Because the schools serve different grades, these averages are each school’s results against state results, not like-grade comparisons.

Recent trends also differ: High’s average state-relative margin improved by 5 points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, and Middle’s improved by 4 points, while Intermediate’s declined by 3 points. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 rankings put High at the 78th percentile (4 stars), Middle at the 57th percentile (3 stars), and Intermediate at the 27th percentile (1 star); Intermediate’s percentile has fallen from 49 in 2023–2024. The schools’ 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible shares range from 58% at High to 65% at Primary. Student-teacher ratios are similar, from 13.9 at Primary to 15.5 at Middle, so those figures alone do not explain the different test profiles. One notable contrast for families weighing attendance is Intermediate’s 8% chronic absenteeism in 2025–2026, compared with 17% at Middle and 21% at High.
