Summary:
The city of Stanford, Kentucky is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Lincoln County school district. While the schools show some academic strengths, the data reveals consistent underperformance compared to state averages, particularly in mathematics and reading.
Lincoln County High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 94.2%, but its academic test scores are below the state average in most subjects, except for writing. Lincoln County Middle School struggles across multiple subject areas, with particularly low scores in mathematics and reading for 8th-grade students. Stanford Elementary School shows some strengths in 3rd and 4th-grade reading, but its mathematics scores are significantly below the state average.
The high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients at all three schools, ranging from 63.09% to 69.78%, indicate that the student population faces significant socioeconomic challenges. Additionally, the relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios suggest that resources may not be effectively allocated to address the academic needs of the students. The declining statewide school digger ratings for all three schools further highlight the need for a comprehensive review of the educational system in Stanford, Kentucky, with a focus on improving academic outcomes and addressing the root causes of the consistent underperformance.
