Henderson County

The Henderson County school district in Kentucky consists of 12 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The district is home to several standout schools, with Spottsville Elementary, Niagara Elementary, and Cairo Elementary consistently ranking among the top performers in the state.

The data reveals significant disparities in academic achievement across the district. While Henderson County High School boasts a high four-year graduation rate of 96.0% and strong performance in ACT English and Reading, other schools, such as The Central Academy, struggle with low test scores and graduation rates. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and support, particularly for students in alternative settings.

The data also highlights the correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, with schools having higher free and reduced lunch rates, such as South Heights Elementary and The Central Academy, tending to have lower proficiency rates. However, the consistent high performance of schools like Spottsville, Niagara, and Cairo Elementary indicates that effective teaching practices and strategies can help overcome these challenges.
