Rowan County


Summary:

The Rowan County school district in Kentucky consists of 9 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 high schools. The district shows a mix of strengths and challenges, with some standout schools like Rodburn Elementary School and Rowan County Senior High School, but also areas for improvement, particularly in academic achievement across the district.

Rodburn Elementary and Rowan County Senior High stand out as the top-performing schools in the district, with Rodburn earning a 3-star rating and Rowan County Senior High boasting a strong 94.8% four-year graduation rate. However, several other schools struggle, with lower test scores and graduation rates, suggesting potential inequities in resources and opportunities across the district.

The district also faces challenges at its alternative schools, such as Bluegrass Discovery Academy High, which has a concerning 20% four-year graduation rate. Additionally, the data indicates that simply increasing funding may not be a silver bullet for improving performance, as the school with the highest per-student spending, Tilden Hogge Elementary, does not necessarily have the strongest academic outcomes. Continued analysis and targeted interventions will be crucial to address the disparities and support student achievement across the Rowan County school district.
