Summary:
The city of Harned, Kentucky is home to two schools - Breckinridge County High School and Breckinridge County Middle School, both part of the Breckinridge County school district. While the high school shows some academic strengths, the middle school appears to be an area of concern that may require further attention.
Breckinridge County High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 95.4% and performance above the state average in some key test score metrics, such as 11th grade ACT English and Reading. However, the school lags behind the state average in 11th grade ACT Math. In contrast, Breckinridge County Middle School has mixed results, with some grade levels performing above the state average in math and reading, but significant deficiencies in science, social studies, and 8th grade reading.
Both schools have relatively high spending per student, at over $14,800 per student, but the Breckinridge County district is ranked 93 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. This raises questions about the efficient use of resources and whether the funding is translating into strong academic outcomes. Additionally, the higher free/reduced lunch rates at the middle school compared to the high school could indicate socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student performance.
