Summary:
The Hickman County school district in Kentucky consists of two schools: Hickman County Elementary School and Hickman County High School. While the high school has consistently ranked among the top schools in the state, the elementary school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years.
Hickman County High School is the standout school in the district, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and exceeding state averages in several key areas, including ACT English, ACT Math, and KSA Writing for 8th grade. In contrast, Hickman County Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 159th out of 517 elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 351st out of 687 in 2022-2023. Its test scores are generally below the state averages, with the exception of 4th-grade math and 6th-grade reading.
Both schools have a majority white student population, with a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting that a large portion of the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The district may need to focus on addressing these socioeconomic factors and ensuring equitable educational opportunities for all students, regardless of their racial or ethnic background.
