Kentucky's 2025–2026 school accountability data is now out, and Z93 Country reports that Wayne County schools show strong results at the high school but support designations at lower grade levels.
Wayne County High School received an overall combined indicator rate of 71.9, which earned an overall rating of 4. Its postsecondary readiness score was 124.1 and its graduation rate was 99.9, and both earned a rating of 5. Its school climate and safety score was 68.4, rated 4. The high school also carries a federal Targeted Support and Improvement label, because the English Learners plus Monitored subgroup is underperforming and needs targeted help.
Wayne County Middle School had an overall combined indicator rate of 40.9 and a rating of 2. Its reading and mathematics rate was 40.1, and its science, social studies and writing rate was 39.4. Its climate and safety rate was 66.8, rated 4. The school is labeled Comprehensive Support and Improvement, which the article says applies to schools in the bottom 5 percent statewide on overall performance.
Monticello Elementary School and Bell Elementary School each posted an overall combined indicator rate of 46.5 and a rating of 2. The article does not describe any next steps.
