Summary:
The Franklin County school district in Kentucky consists of 14 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 5 high schools. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools, with several standouts that could serve as models for the rest of the district.
Bridgeport Elementary School stands out for its exceptional 3rd-grade math proficiency rate of 65%, far exceeding the county and state averages. Westridge Elementary also impresses with its strong performance across multiple grade levels and subjects, including the highest 4th-grade math and 5th-grade reading, social studies, and editing/mechanics proficiency rates in the county. At the high school level, Western Hills High School boasts an exceptional 4-year graduation rate of 98.9%, significantly outpacing the county and state averages.
The data also reveals significant variation in performance across the district, with some schools struggling more than others. The schools with the highest rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch tend to have lower proficiency rates on state assessments, highlighting the challenges faced by high-poverty schools. Additionally, the two virtual high schools, William Cofield High School and The Academy, have performed well, with strong graduation rates, suggesting they may be effective options for certain students.
