Profile interpretation
What the reported data says about MC Academy
MC Academy is a public high school serving grades 06–12 in Benton. It is one of 12 current school records connected to Marshall County. NCES reports 100 students for 2024–25.
Among 442 high schools in Kentucky with comparable records, this school is smaller than the reported median of 187.5 students. Its enrollment is at approximately the 47th percentile for that peer group. Size describes the campus, not instructional quality.
The reported student–teacher ratio is 33.3:1, above the Kentucky median of 15.2:1 for the same school level. This ratio uses total enrollment and teacher FTE; it is not an average classroom headcount and can be affected by special programs or part-time staffing.
The two largest reported race and ethnicity groups are White (96%) and multiracial (3%). Students served under IDEA represent 6.5%. These figures help families understand who the school serves; they are not rating inputs.
The 2021–22 civil-rights collection reports access to gifted and talented programming. Program availability changes, so families should confirm the current catalog and participation rules directly with the school.
