Nicholas County Elementary School is the only school in the county that welcomed kindergarten students.
Within Nicholas County schools, the highest student population was found in kindergarten, with the smallest class sizes seen in 11th grade.
Statewide, Nicholas County ranked 108th in enrollment numbers. It was also ranked 108th 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.
