The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Paducah Tilghman High School is the finest school in western Kentucky. In my four years there I was provided with every form of club and activity to prepare myself for college. From football, track, academic team, beta club, chess team, Tilghman offers something for every student who walks through that door. This is a direct result of Dr. Shively's goal to know every student by Name and need.
