What this means: About 50% of students here test proficient in math and reading, compared with the roughly 49% typical for Kentucky schools with a similar share of low-income students. BeatsExpectations measures results against demographically similar schools rather than by raw scores, and this school falls within the typical range, neither among Kentucky's top nor bottom 10%.
BeatsExpectations runs a per-state regression of proficiency on free/reduced-lunch share, then scores each school by residual. How this is calculated →

From the Henderson County High School community.How to read these scores
What is KSA (K-PREP)?
KSA (K-PREP) is the statewide standardized test administered by Kentucky public schools.
What does "% Proficient/Distinguished" mean?
It is the share of students at the school who performed at grade level or above on the test, summed across the top two of four performance levels. A higher number is better.
What does 61.0% mean for Reading at Henderson County High School?
It means about 61.0 percent of students tested at Henderson County High School performed at grade level or above on the KSA (K-PREP) Reading test in 2024-25. The statewide average for Kentucky that year was 47.9%. The other students fell into the lower performance levels.
How is the state average calculated?
It is a weighted average, not a simple average of each school's number. We multiply each public school's score by how many of its students tested, add those together for all schools in Kentucky, and divide by the total students tested that year. This way a big school with 1,500 students counts more than a small school with 50 students, which is the right way to ask "how did the typical student do this year?". District and county averages on this page use the same method, just scoped to that district or county.
Where does this data come from?
Kentucky Department of Education, Kentucky Summative Assessment (KSA / K-PREP). School-level All Students subgroup from the KDE Open House supplemental datasets. Headline metric is the cumulative "Proficient + Distinguished" rate (top 2 of 4 KSA levels: Novice / Apprentice / Proficient / Distinguished).
How often is it updated?
KSA (K-PREP) is administered once a year (spring). Results are released by the state in the summer or early fall. We refresh this page after each annual release.
