Summary:
The city of Horse Cave, Kentucky is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school: Legrande Elementary School, Caverna High School, and Caverna Middle School. While Legrande Elementary is the highest-ranked of the three, all three schools are performing below the state average on key academic metrics.
Legrande Elementary is ranked in the bottom two-thirds of Kentucky elementary schools, with test scores generally lower than state and county averages. Caverna High School and Caverna Middle School are both ranked in the bottom 20% of their respective school types in the state, with very low proficiency rates on standardized tests.
The high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 51.7% at Legrande Elementary to over 75% at Caverna High School and Caverna Middle School, suggest that the student population in Horse Cave is predominantly from low-income households. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the academic challenges faced by these schools, despite their higher-than-average per-student spending and smaller student-teacher ratios.
