Of all the students welcomed in the 2023-24 school year, 52% of them were boys, and 48% were girls.
Data also showed that most of the students were white, making up 88.3% of the Allen County School District's total enrollment.
Allen County School District roughly covers five schools within Allen County and has a main office in Scottsville.
Among those schools, Allen County Primary Center recorded the highest enrollment of 1,083 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.
