Laurel County

Summary:

The Laurel County school district in Kentucky consists of 18 schools, including 11 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 4 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district is home to several standout schools that consistently rank among the top performers in the state.

At the elementary level, Sublimity Elementary School stands out as the top-ranked elementary school in Kentucky, with exceptional test scores and a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Other high-performing elementary schools include Keavy Elementary School, ranked 13th in the state, and Cold Hill Elementary School, ranked 32nd. These schools demonstrate a strong focus on academic excellence across the district.

At the secondary level, North Laurel High School and South Laurel High School stand out with 4-year graduation rates above 92%, exceeding the Laurel County and Kentucky state averages. However, the middle and high schools show more variation in their rankings and test scores, suggesting a need to further examine instructional practices and support at the secondary level. The district's alternative schools, Laurel County Day Treatment and McDaniel Learning Center, face unique challenges in serving high-need student populations, as evidenced by their lower test scores and graduation rates.
