The majority of students in Menifee County's only school were white in the 2022-23 school year, according to the Kentucky Department of Education.

Of the 373 students attending Menifee County's only school, 90.3% were white. African American students were the second most represented ethnicity, making up 5.4%.

In the previous school year, white students were also the most common group in Menifee County's only school, representing 95.3% of the student body.

In the 2022-23 school year, the total number of students enrolled in the county increased by 4.2% compared to the previous 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.
