Of all the students welcomed in the 2022-23 school year, 51.5% of them were boys, and 48.5% were girls.

Among the 16 schools in Scott County School District, Great Crossing High School recorded the highest enrollment of 1,853 students in the 2022-23 school year.

Kentucky is in the midst of a statewide teacher shortage as turnover rates spiked to 10.9% in 2023, up from an 8.9% nine-year average. This issue is more prominent in schools with more low-income and minority students.

Data also shows that 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.
