There were 326 multiracial students enrolled in Logan County schools in the 2022-23 school year, a 4.8% increase from the 311 multiracial students in the previous school year, according to the Kentucky Department of Education.

Data showed that Logan County welcomed a total of 5,113 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, multiracial students comprised 6.4% of the student body to be the third least represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the 11 schools in Logan County, R. E. Stevenson Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of multiracial students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 63 students, making up 11.6% of the school's total student body.

Despite escaping some of the pandemic's educational disruptions, Kentucky's achievement gaps have remained an issue since 2019. In the eighth-grade reading assessments, for example, Hispanic students scored eight points lower than their white peers, and the gap reached 15 points in math. Black students fared even worse, falling more than 20 points behind and facing a failure rate nearly double that of their white counterparts.
