The data reveals a mix of performance, with Eastern Elementary School standing out as a high-performing school, while the other schools in the district struggle to match its success, particularly in mathematics and reading.

Eastern Elementary School has consistently performed well, ranking in the top half of Kentucky elementary schools and earning a 4-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Henry County Middle School has shown improvement in recent years, moving from a 1-star to a 3-star rating, and its math and reading proficiency rates are above the county and state averages.

The data also reveals that the schools in Henry County tend to lag behind the state averages in mathematics and reading proficiency, particularly at the high school level. Additionally, the district has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a relatively high level of economic disadvantage that may impact academic performance. School leaders and policymakers in Henry County will need to focus on addressing these areas of concern to support student success across the district.
