Of all the students welcomed in the 2023-24 school year, 53.4% of them were boys, and 46.6% were girls.
Data also showed that most of the students were white, making up 91.6% of the Hancock County School District's total enrollment.
Hancock County School District roughly covers five schools within Hancock County and has a main office in Hawesville.
Among those schools, North Hancock Elementary School and Hancock County High School recorded the highest enrollment of 501 students in the 2023-24 school year.
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.
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.
