Summary:
The city of Dry Ridge, Kentucky is home to 5 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Grant County School District. While the district as a whole is ranked 143 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, a few schools stand out in the data.
Dry Ridge Elementary is the top performer, with the highest proficiency rates in mathematics, reading, science, and writing compared to the other elementary schools. In contrast, Sherman Elementary shows some promising results, particularly in 5th-grade proficiency rates. However, across the district, test scores often lag behind state averages, with only 20% of 11th-grade students at Grant County High School proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state average of 30%.
The schools in Dry Ridge face significant economic challenges, with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 64.19% at Grant County High School to 78.52% at Sherman Elementary. This suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to address the academic underperformance observed across the district, particularly at the middle and high school levels.
