Understanding the 8/10 Rating
With a rating of 8/10 (above average), Daviess County School District ranks among Kentucky’s above average-rated school systems. Our ratings are based on state assessment results — the share of students scoring proficient or above in reading and math, as reported in the U.S. Department of Education’s EDFacts collection. We average each district’s reading and math proficiency, then rank it against other districts in the same state to produce a 1–10 score.
