McLean County High School had the highest enrollment among McLean County schools, welcoming 511 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, 55.2% of them were boys, and 44.8% were girls.

Data also showed that the majority of students were white, making up 94.7% of McLean County High School's total enrollment.

Among the five schools in McLean County, McLean County Middle School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 366 students, while Calhoun Elementary School welcomed 350 students and ranked third in the 2022-23 school year.

McLean County High School is part of McLean County School District, which roughly covers schools within McLean County and has a main office in Calhoun.

In the previous school year, McLean County High School also had the highest number of students among McLean County schools.

Kentucky is in the midst of a statewide teacher shortage as turnover rates spiked to 10.9% in 2023, up from an 8.9% nine-year average. This issue is more prominent in schools with more low-income and minority students.

Data also shows that between 2019 and 2023, there was an increase of 260% in the number of available teaching posts in Kentucky schools. This often leads to larger class sizes, combining programs, and retaining staff despite potential negative impacts on teacher working conditions.
