Logan County

The schools in Logan County, Kentucky consist of 5 elementary schools, 2 high schools, and 1 public virtual high school. The district is home to some strong-performing schools, led by Logan County High School, which consistently ranks among the top high schools in the state. However, the district also has some struggling schools, such as the virtual The Academy, which lags behind in test scores and graduation rates.

Logan County High School stands out as the top performer in the district, earning a 4-star rating and outperforming state and county averages on standardized tests. In contrast, The Academy, the district's public virtual high school, faces significant challenges, with lower test scores and graduation rates compared to the state and county. Among the elementary schools, Olmstead Elementary and Auburn Elementary demonstrate strong performance, while others, such as Chandlers Elementary, struggle in certain subject areas.

The data suggests that higher spending per student does not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes, as evidenced by Adairville Elementary, which has the highest per-student spending but does not consistently outperform other schools with lower spending levels. This highlights the importance of factors beyond just funding, such as teaching quality, curriculum, and school leadership, in driving student success.
