We have a great school here with above average teachers who not only teach but connect with the students. However, what does it matter what color a student's hair is? Hair cuts can be just as distracting. Will they ban that also? What's the point of making a rule that students can't dye their hair unnatural colors? Why put a limit on the individuality of students? Trigg is an excellent school, but like everything it has it's flaws.

The school system is pretty good with a wide variety of after school activities, but now they have started the Freshman Academy which keeps them away from the upper class. This contributes a lot of controversy ranging from the bell schedules to when you go to lunch, but other than that I think that it is a pretty good school.

This school has some great teachers who will offer the students puzzles and challenge the minds of those who are gifted. To name a few: Donna Carter, Robbie Shelby, Coach Burcham. But, do not allow the humble image cast a fake view infront of your eyes. This school deals with great problems with drugs and gangs, racial tensions.

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Kentucky used the Kentucky Core Content Tests (KCCT) to assess students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 through 12 in reading, social studies, science, writing, and math. The Elementary School results displayed on GreatSchools profiles are for grades 3 through 5 combined for each subject. Middle School results are for grades 6 though 8 combined, and High School results are for grades 10 though 12 combined. The KCCT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Kentucky.
