Madison County School District had the highest enrollment among Madison County districts, welcoming 12,031 students during the 2022-23 school year, according to the Kentucky Department of Education.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2022-23 school year, 51.5% of them were boys, and 48.5% were girls.

Data also showed that most of the students were white, representing 82.6% of the total enrollment.

Madison County School District roughly covers schools within Madison County with its main office in Richmond.

Among the three districts in Madison County, Berea Independent School District ranked second in enrollment numbers with 1,202 students, while Model Laboratory Schools at Eku welcomed 744 students to be ranked third in the 2022-23 school year.

In the previous school year, Madison County School District had the highest number of students among Madison County districts.

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.
