Summary:

Fleming County High School is a public high school located in Flemingsburg, Kentucky, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 654 students. The school is part of the Fleming County School District, which is ranked 123 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Fleming County High School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on various standardized tests, including the ACT and Kentucky State Assessments (KSA), its special education students have performed relatively well, ranking 48th out of 162 Kentucky high schools in 2022-2023. However, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with its female, male, white, and low socioeconomic status students all ranking in the bottom half of Kentucky high schools in the same year. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate of 93.2% for the 2023-2024 school year is slightly higher than the state average but lower than some nearby schools, such as Bath County High School (96.5%) and Mason County High School (96.4%).

The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Fleming County High School (53.52% in 2022-2023) indicates that the school faces significant socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to its lower academic performance. While the school's performance has fluctuated significantly over the years, ranging from 64th out of 285 Kentucky high schools in 2018-2019 to 198th out of 271 in 2021-2022, it generally performs worse on academic measures compared to nearby high schools, such as Bath County High School and Mason County High School. To improve overall student outcomes, the school and Fleming County School District may need to focus on addressing the specific needs of its diverse student population and implementing targeted interventions to address the academic and socioeconomic factors that are impacting student success.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
