High Schools in Clark County

Clark County, Kentucky is home to a single high school, George Rogers Clark High School. This school serves students in grades 9-12 and has a strong 95.3% four-year graduation rate, indicating that it is effectively supporting students in completing their high school education.

Academically, George Rogers Clark High School shows a mixed performance. While the school's proficiency rates in Editing and Mechanics (43%) were slightly above the state average (45%), its scores in other core subjects like English (42% vs. 44% state average), Mathematics (29% vs. 30% state average), and Reading (39% vs. 42% state average) fell below the Clark County and state averages. This suggests room for improvement in academic achievement, particularly in areas like Mathematics and Reading.

The school serves a student population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage (53.19%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite this, the school's spending per student ($15,531) is higher than the national average, and the student-teacher ratio of 17.6 to 1 is slightly above the recommended 15 to 1 ratio. These factors indicate that the school is allocating resources to support its students, but there may be opportunities to further invest in staffing and targeted interventions to address the academic performance gaps observed.
