Summary:
The city of Hindman, Kentucky is home to two schools: Knott County Central High School and Hindman Elementary School. Both schools serve students in the Knott County district, facing challenges in maintaining high academic performance and statewide rankings.
Knott County Central High School stands out with a relatively strong 90.0% four-year graduation rate, though its test scores generally fall below state averages. The school has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 133 out of 290 Kentucky high schools. In contrast, Hindman Elementary School struggles with lower proficiency rates, particularly in Mathematics, and has a 2-star rating, ranking 414 out of 685 Kentucky elementary schools.
Both schools serve economically disadvantaged student populations, with free and reduced lunch rates exceeding 68%. This suggests that socioeconomic factors may contribute to the academic performance gaps observed. Additionally, despite higher-than-average spending per student, the schools have not been able to consistently improve their statewide rankings and ratings. Targeted interventions and resource allocation strategies may be necessary to help these schools better serve their students and drive academic achievement.
