Shelby County

Summary:

The Shelby County school district in Kentucky consists of 12 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district serves a diverse student population across a range of socioeconomic backgrounds.

Within the district, a few schools stand out. Heritage Elementary and Simpsonville Elementary are among the top-performing elementary schools in the state, with high proficiency rates in math, reading, and science. In contrast, Ascension Academy, an alternative high school, has significantly lower performance compared to the other high schools in the district, with very low proficiency rates and a low graduation rate.

The data reveals significant disparities in performance and resources across the schools in Shelby County. While some schools are performing well above the state and county averages, others are struggling, with potential correlations between socioeconomic status and academic performance. Addressing these disparities and improving outcomes for underperforming schools should be a priority for the district moving forward.
