Boone County

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 pre-K through 12th grade. The district is ranked 31 out of 159 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Several schools in the Boone County district stand out for their exceptional performance. Gray Middle School is ranked 14th out of 324 middle schools in Kentucky and has a 5-star rating, with very high proficiency rates in math, reading, and other subjects. Shirley Mann Elementary School is ranked 11th out of 685 elementary schools in the state and also has a 5-star rating, with exceptional performance across all grade levels and subject areas. New Haven Elementary School is ranked 6th out of 685 elementary schools and has a 5-star rating, with very high proficiency rates, especially in reading and writing.

While many Boone County schools perform exceptionally well, the data also reveals significant disparities in student outcomes, with some schools struggling to meet state averages. The schools with the highest rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch tend to have the lowest test scores and proficiency rates, highlighting the impact of socioeconomic factors on academic achievement. Addressing these equity gaps and ensuring all students have access to a high-quality education should be a priority for the Boone County School District.
