Jackson County Middle School welcomed most of the eighth grade students in the county, registering 145 students.
Within Jackson County schools, the highest student population was found in ninth grade, with the smallest class sizes seen in 12th grade.
Statewide, Jackson County ranked 80th in enrollment numbers. It was also ranked 80th the year before.
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.
