GreatSchools Rating
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.

Caldwell has been a wild ride. With many ups and downs, especially during COVID and having to go online. Overall we handled it well

I was about 3 years old when I moved to Kentucky from Florida. Caldwell County has been both good and bad for me throughout my four years(I'm a senior this year) of high school. Other than those four years, Caldwell has been a pretty good experience for school.

I graduated highschool here, I moved from states away, and with that being said. To me it was something else moving from where I was to there. The teachers were alright. I mean teachers are teachers they do their jobs then go home. That goes with all the staff there as well. The students there were the problem.
