Summary:
The city of Union, Kentucky is home to a strong school district with 7 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. These schools consistently outperform the Boone County and Kentucky averages on state assessments, particularly in mathematics and reading.
Several schools stand out as top performers, including Gray Middle School, which ranks 15th out of 327 Kentucky middle schools and has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past 3 years. Shirley Mann Elementary School and New Haven Elementary School also stand out, ranking 18th and 23rd in the state respectively and maintaining 5-star ratings.
While the student populations at these schools are predominantly white, there is some racial diversity, with Hispanic and Asian students making up a notable portion at several schools. The free/reduced lunch rates vary, suggesting that some schools serve more economically disadvantaged populations than others. The district may need to examine its resource allocation to ensure equity and optimal learning environments across all schools, as spending per student and student/teacher ratios differ between the institutions.
