High Schools in Butler County

Butler County, Kentucky is home to two high schools: Butler County High School and Butler County Learning Center. While Butler County High School serves a larger student population, the Learning Center caters to a more specialized and economically disadvantaged group, as evidenced by its 100% free/reduced lunch rate and lower student-teacher ratio.

Butler County High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 169th out of 271 Kentucky high schools in 2021-2022 to 192nd out of 290 in 2023-2024. The school is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other Kentucky high schools. Its test scores are generally lower than the state averages across various subjects and grade levels, including ACT English, Math, and Reading, as well as the Kentucky State Assessments (KSA).

Despite these academic challenges, Butler County High School maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 95.8% for the 2023-2024 school year. The stark contrast between the two schools in Butler County suggests that the Butler County Learning Center likely provides a more personalized learning environment for its small student population, even though its overall school performance data is not available.
