Summary:
The city of Carrollton, Kentucky is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school. Based on the available data, the schools in the Carroll County school district are consistently underperforming compared to state averages, with no clear standout schools in the area.
Across the 4 schools - 2 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - proficiency rates in core subjects like math, reading, and science are significantly below Kentucky state averages. For example, at Carroll County Middle School, only 21-25% of students are proficient in math and reading, compared to state averages of 37-49%. The performance at Carroll County High School, which has the highest statewide ranking in the district at 206 out of 290 Kentucky high schools, is also concerning with only 15-43% of students meeting proficiency standards.
Despite relatively high per-student spending ranging from $11,946 to $16,685, and low student-teacher ratios of 13.8 to 20.4 students per teacher, the schools are not seeing commensurate improvements in student outcomes. This suggests the district may need to re-evaluate how it is allocating resources and support to drive better results. Additionally, the high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 56-66%, indicate the district is serving a population with significant economic challenges that may be contributing to the low academic performance.
