Best Public Schools in Hyden, KY

Summary:

The city of Hyden, Kentucky is home to two schools - Mountain View Elementary and Leslie County High School. These schools serve students from pre-K through 12th grade and are part of the Leslie County School District, which is ranked 11th out of 159 districts in Kentucky.

Based on the data, Leslie County High School stands out as the top performer, ranking 38th out of 290 Kentucky high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has maintained strong academic performance over the past few years, with impressive proficiency rates in subjects like reading and social studies that exceed state averages. In contrast, Mountain View Elementary has seen its statewide ranking fluctuate, and its proficiency rates are often below the county and state levels, particularly in mathematics.

Despite the academic success of Leslie County High School, both schools face socioeconomic challenges, with free and reduced lunch rates exceeding 60%. This suggests the Hyden community may benefit from targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes for all students in the area.
