Summary:

The Boone County school district in Kentucky consists of 27 schools, including 15 elementary schools, 6 middle schools, and 6 high schools, serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade. The district is known for its strong academic performance, with several standout schools ranking among the top in the state.

Among the top-performing schools in the district are Gray Middle School, which is ranked 18th out of 320 Kentucky middle schools, and Shirley Mann Elementary School and New Haven Elementary School, which are ranked 20th and 15th out of 685 Kentucky elementary schools, respectively. These schools consistently demonstrate high academic achievement, with 60-79% of students proficient or better in math and reading.

While the Boone County district as a whole performs well, there are some disparities in performance between individual schools. Schools with higher percentages of students from low-income families, such as Ockerman Elementary and Hillard Collins Elementary, tend to have lower test scores and rankings. The district's high schools, however, all maintain similar performance metrics, with graduation rates around 93.5% and test scores above the state average.
