High Schools in Trimble County

Trimble County, Kentucky has only one high school, Trimble County Junior/Senior High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, dropping from 116th out of 276 Kentucky high schools in 2022-2023 to 210th out of 290 in 2023-2024, indicating a decline in performance relative to other high schools in the state.

Trimble County Junior/Senior High School faces some challenges in terms of academic performance, with proficiency rates on standardized tests like the ACT and Kentucky State Assessments (KSA) generally below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in ACT/English (30%), ACT/Mathematics (16%), and KSA/Mathematics for 10th grade (22%) were significantly lower than the state averages of 44%, 30%, and 36%, respectively. However, the school's four-year graduation rate for 2023-2024 is 92.1%, which is slightly above the state average.

The school also faces socioeconomic challenges, with a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 53.76% in 2022-2023. Despite the higher per-student spending of $11,607 in 2018-2019, which is above the state average, the school's performance on standardized tests remains below the state averages, indicating that additional funding and resources may not be the sole solution to improving academic outcomes. The school's low proficiency rates in subjects like mathematics and reading present opportunities for targeted interventions and support to help students improve their academic skills and performance.
