Very poor leadership, inconsistent discipline, irregular implementation of policies, inexperienced teaching staff and lack of team work

This school is good. But the student's behavior needs to be improved. This school needs really strict teachers in order to keep students maintained. They also need a stable principle here. Please encourage the teachers to be strict on students.

This school's education is despicable. It is shameful that any state school could sink so low. I caution all parents against sending their children here! There are both issues in safety and the well being of my child.

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.
