Data showed that Daviess County welcomed a total of 18,073 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, multiracial students comprised 7.6% of the student body to be the third most represented ethnicity in the county.
Among the 28 schools in Daviess County, Owensboro High School recorded the highest enrollment of multiracial students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 158 students, making up 11% of the school's total student body.
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.
