Lafayette Earns 2024 College Success Award

Lafayette High School is among 31 high schools in Kentucky to receive the prestigious College Success Award from GreatSchools.org, the nation’s leading nonprofit school information site. Now in its sixth year, the recognition honors public high schools that excel in preparing students to enroll and succeed in college, as determined by available data in each state.

Kentucky’s recipients are among 1,436 winners in 19 states that have demonstrated successful track records of graduating students who enroll in two- or four-year colleges, are ready for college-level coursework, and persist on to their second year. College readiness is crucial for high school students’ future success as companies still overwhelmingly hire candidates with a college degree.

“We want to provide vibrant learning experiences for all our students, which means we are ‘All In’ when it comes to making sure every student is equipped to succeed after high school,” said Commissioner of Education Robbie Fletcher.

According to the Kentucky Department of Education, our state leads the nation in both collecting and transparently sharing information on how students perform after high school, which is valuable information for families, educators, and policymakers.
