Summary:
The Frankfort Independent school district in Kentucky consists of 3 schools, including 1 elementary school, 2 high schools, and no middle schools or alternative schools. The data reveals a mix of performance, with Frankfort High School standing out as a relatively strong performer, while Second Street School and Panther Transition Academy face more significant challenges.
Frankfort High School ranks in the top half of Kentucky high schools and maintains a strong 97.2% four-year graduation rate, well above the state average. The school also performs above the district and state averages on several key test scores, including ACT English and ACT Reading. In contrast, Second Street School's math and reading proficiency rates are generally below the district and state averages across grade levels, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
Panther Transition Academy, a virtual high school, caters to a unique student population and has a higher student-teacher ratio of 22:1. Despite these challenges, the school maintains an 81.8% four-year graduation rate, which is respectable considering its specialized nature. However, the school has a very high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 86.36%, indicating it serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population. This raises questions about the equitable distribution of resources and the impact of socioeconomic factors on educational outcomes across the district.
