High Schools in Elizabethtown Independent

The Elizabethtown Independent school district in Kentucky is home to two high schools: Elizabethtown High School and Glen Dale Center. Elizabethtown High School stands out as the district's top-performing high school, consistently earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking 75th out of 290 Kentucky high schools for the 2023-2024 school year.

Elizabethtown High School boasts an impressive 98.9% four-year graduation rate, well above the district and state averages. The school also outperforms the Elizabethtown Independent district and the state of Kentucky on most standardized test metrics, including ACT English, Math, and Reading, as well as the Kentucky State Assessments (KSA) in Math, Reading, Writing, Social Studies, and Editing/Mechanics. However, math proficiency remains an area for improvement, with 42% of 11th graders scoring proficient or better on the ACT Math, compared to 41% for the district and 30% for the state.

In contrast, the smaller Glen Dale Center has limited performance data available, making it difficult to assess its effectiveness. However, the school's low 6:1 student-teacher ratio suggests it may be able to provide more individualized attention to its small student body of just 12 students. Overall, the data indicates that Elizabethtown High School is a strong-performing school within the Elizabethtown Independent district, while the smaller Glen Dale Center lacks sufficient data to draw firm conclusions about its effectiveness.
