High Schools in Todd County

The high schools in Todd County, Kentucky present a mixed picture, with one larger, more established school and a smaller, alternative high school serving different student populations. Todd County Central High School is the larger of the two, with 551 students, while Horizons High School has just 22 students.

Todd County Central High School is ranked 163 out of 290 Kentucky high schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, and has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 95.9%. However, the school is underperforming on standardized test scores, particularly in mathematics, where only 15% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 30%. In contrast, Horizons High School is ranked 246 out of 288 Kentucky high schools, with a 1-star rating, but maintains a strong 4-year graduation rate of 94.7%.

The data also reveals that Horizons High School serves a higher percentage of students from low-income families, with 72.73% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, compared to 56.44% at Todd County Central High School. This suggests that Horizons High School may require additional resources and support to address the unique needs of its student population, despite its smaller size and lower academic ranking.
