Bowling Green Today

The majority of students in Warren County schools were white in the 2022-23 school year, according to the Kentucky Department of Education.

Of the 23,237 students attending Warren County schools, 64% were white. African American students were the second most represented ethnicity, making up 11.8%.

In the previous school year, white students were also the most common group in Warren County schools, representing 59.3% of the student body.

Dishman McGinnis Elementary School had the most diverse student body in the county, which included African American, American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Hispanic or Latino, multiracial, and white.

In the 2022-23 school year, the total number of students enrolled in schools in the county dropped to 3.6% compared to the previous year.

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.
