The 2023-24 School Report Card has been released for the Kenton County School District. School and District Report Cards provide information including test performance, teacher qualifications, student safety, and much more. Results from the annual Kentucky Summative Assessment (KSA) can be found in the School Report Card. The KSA is the annual summative assessment given in grades 3 through 8, 10 and 11 to Kentucky public school students. KSA provides content area assessments, including reading and mathematics (grades 3 through 8 and 10), science (grades 4, 7, 11), on-demand writing and editing and mechanics (grades 5, 8, 11), and social studies (grades 5, 8, 11). KSA assessments are Kentucky’s measure of student proficiency and progress on the state content standards. These standards establish goals for what all students should know and be able to do in each grade.
The state’s accountability system's overall performance for each district and school is reported by color ratings including five performance levels from highest to lowest: Blue (Very High), Green (High), Yellow (Medium), Orange (Low) and Red (Very Low) in the 2024 Fall reporting period.
