School Report Cards

Last Updated on Tuesday, May 15, 2007 at 5:00 AM

Each year, Kentucky schools publish School Report Cards and mail them home to all parents of Kentucky's schoolchildren. Not to be confused with student report cards, School Report Cards provide information about each school, including test performance, teacher qualifications, student safety, awards, parent involvement, and much more.

School Report Cards help open the lines of communication between the school, the homes of its students, and its local community. They provide an opportunity for schools to highlight their strengths and explain what they are doing to improve. Parents can use School Report Cards when they visit their child's school for conferences and other meetings. Please explore the links below to view or download the current school and district report cards or to understand more about Kentucky's School Report Card Project.

This section of the site contains detailed information about the academic performance of Kentucky Schools and Districts.

Kentucky does not rank schools based on their academic performance. However, because our system of education is based on accountability at the school level, we encourage parents and other stakeholders to review information about specific schools using various sources on our Web site. The School and District Profiles are helpful, as are the various test results we post annually. Finally, the School Report Cards for each Kentucky school provide concise information for parents and others. To make the best use of these resources, you will need to identify those schools you are considering, and then review their results in these reports.

From time to time, for a variety of academic and non-academic reasons, parents feel that their children would achieve at a higher level if they were taught by the parents at home, or home-schooled. While professional educators feel that home-schooling a child is an overwhelming undertaking and urge caution in deciding about their children's education, people who do decide to go ahead need information and assistance to become knowledgeable about what requirements, legal and otherwise, pertain to the establishment and daily operation of a home school.
