Summary:
The city of Morehead, Kentucky is home to 8 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 high schools. The schools in this Rowan County district serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 54% to 100%.
Among the standout schools, Rodburn Elementary School has the highest performance on state assessments, with 52% of 4th graders proficient or better in math and 62% proficient or better in reading. Tilden Hogge Elementary School also excels, with the highest 5th grade reading and social studies proficiency rates in the district. At the high school level, Rowan County Senior High School stands out with a 94.8% 4-year graduation rate, well above the state average.
However, the data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the schools, with the elementary schools generally outperforming the middle and high schools on state assessments. The variation in per-student spending, from $16,604 to $20,494, and student-teacher ratios, from 7.0 to 21.0, may contribute to these differences and suggest that resource allocation could be an important factor in supporting student success across all Morehead schools.
