Oldham County High School stands out as an exceptional institution, consistently ranking among the top 11 high schools in Kentucky and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

In contrast, while LaGrange Elementary School is still performing well, it does not rise to the same level of excellence as the high school. With a statewide ranking between 147 and 188 out of 684-687 elementary schools and a 4-star rating, the elementary school's test scores are generally above the state averages, but not as consistently high as those of the high school. The school's higher free/reduced lunch rate of 54.35% compared to the high school's 27.84% may be a contributing factor to these differences.
