Summary:
The Ashland Independent school district in Kentucky is home to two high schools: Paul G. Blazer High School and Ashland Alternative School. Paul G. Blazer High School stands out as the stronger-performing school, consistently ranking in the top 25-30% of Kentucky high schools over the past three years and maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Paul G. Blazer High School boasts an impressive 94.7% four-year graduation rate, well above the state average. The school's students perform at or above the state average on most standardized tests, with particularly strong performance in English/Language Arts. However, there is room for improvement in math proficiency, where scores lag slightly behind the state average. The school serves a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with a 53.86% free/reduced lunch rate.
In contrast, Ashland Alternative School is a much smaller school with only 80 students and a lower 4-year graduation rate of 66.7%. The limited data available for this school suggests it may be facing greater challenges, but further investigation would be needed to fully understand its performance and needs.
