Of all the students welcomed in the 2023-24 school year, 50.5% of them were boys, and 49.5% were girls.
Data also showed that most of the students were white, making up 91.3% of the Green County School District's total enrollment.
Green County School District roughly covers four schools within Green County and has a main office in Greensburg.
Among those schools, Green County High School recorded the highest enrollment of 528 students in the 2023-24 school year.
Despite ongoing efforts to address educational disparities, Kentucky's achievement gaps persist. In the 2024 eighth-grade reading assessments, for example, Black students scored 24 points lower than their white peers, while Hispanic students were 19 points behind. In mathematics, the gaps were even more pronounced: Black students lagged by 29 points and Hispanic students by 19 points compared to white students. These disparities have remained relatively unchanged since 2000, highlighting the need for continued focus on equity in education.
Between 2019 and 2023, there was an increase of 260% in the number of available teaching posts in Kentucky schools. This often leads to larger class sizes, combining programs, and retaining staff despite potential negative impacts on teacher working conditions.
