2025-2026 KSA Results
Each spring, students across Kentucky take state assessment tests known as KSA which stands for the Kentucky Summative Assessment. This annual statewide testing program is given to public school students in grades 3 through 8, 10, and 11. It is designed to check student proficiency and progress based on the state academic standards in subjects like reading, mathematics, science, social studies, and writing. For KSA, students receive a separate scale score and performance level (Distinguished, Proficient, Apprentice, and Novice). Your child’s individual scores will be sent home by your child’s school very soon. Additionally, Kentucky uses a five-color rating system to evaluate overall school performance, ranging from red (the lowest) through orange, yellow, and green, to blue (the highest). The ratings consider several measures of academic achievement and school quality, including test performance, school climate and safety, and at the high school level, graduation rates and postsecondary readiness.
We are proud to share the following accomplishments from our 2025-2026 KSA test results:
> There were fewer Novice scores across the district in 3rd grade Reading, 7th grade Reading, 7th grade Science, and 11th grade Writing.
> There were increases in the percentage of Proficient and Distinguished scores across the district in 3rd grade Reading and Math, 4th grade Math, 6th grade Reading and Math, 7th grade Reading and Science, and 11th grade Writing.
> Our Middle School students across the district showed increases in Science, Social Studies, and Writing scores.
> As a district, our Quality of School Climate and Safety was rated as “High” for Elementary and Middle schools and “Very High” for the high school.
> The high school saw an increase in Postsecondary Readiness and its Graduation Rate.
Additionally, we are excited to share that the high school ranked 3rd in our Region overall, was in the Top 5 in all tested areas in the Region, and ranks 1st in the Region on the last four year average!
We are also thrilled to share that student attendance has averaged 94% or higher for the first two months of the school year which is about a quarter percentage higher than the two previous school years.
We continue to focus on using student testing data to positively impact the instruction and interventions used in each school to help each student achieve academic growth and success. Thanks to our parents and guardians for your continued support and encouragement as we work together to educate our future.

Bus #70 will be delayed 30-40 minutes in the morning. We apologize for the inconvenience. We hope to be back on the regular schedule after Fall Break.
Good Evening Parents and Guardians,
If your child rides bus #70, your child will be picked up 30-40 minutes later than normal in the morning. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause. Bus #70 is running a double route in the morning, and this is the reason for the delay.
