Data showed that Lee County welcomed a total of 974 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, Hispanic or Latino students comprised 1% of the student body to be the second least represented ethnicity in the county.
Both schools in Lee County enrolled five Hispanic or Latino students in the 2022-23 school year.
Despite escaping some of the pandemic's educational disruptions, Kentucky's achievement gaps have remained an issue since 2019. In the eighth-grade reading assessments, for example, Hispanic students scored eight points lower than their white peers, and the gap reached 15 points in math. Black students fared even worse, falling more than 20 points behind and facing a failure rate nearly double that of their white counterparts.
| School name | % of Hispanic or Latino Students Enrolment | Total Enrollment |
|---|---|---|
| Lee County Middle High School | 1% | 499 |
| Lee County Elementary School | 1.1% | 475 |
