Of all the students welcomed in the 2023-24 school year, 55.5% of them were boys, and 44.5% were girls.
Data also showed that most of the students were white, making up 94% of the Morgan County School District's total enrollment.
Morgan County School District roughly covers eight schools within Morgan County and has a main office in West Liberty.
Among those schools, Morgan County High School recorded the highest enrollment of 567 students in the 2023-24 school year.
Kentucky is in the midst of a statewide teacher shortage as turnover rates spiked to 10.9% in 2023, up from an 8.9% nine-year average. This issue is more prominent in schools with more low-income and minority students.
Between 2019 and 2023, there was an increase of 260% in the number of available teaching posts in Kentucky schools. This often leads to larger class sizes, combining programs, and retaining staff despite potential negative impacts on teacher working conditions.
