    • Fort Thomas, KY
    • 15 reviews
    #2 Districts with the Best Teachers in Kentucky

    Parent: With 4 children at the high school, middle school and elementary levels and 2 more to go through, we couldn’t be happier. They have programs to help our child who struggles with reading as well as a gifted/talented program for those who excel. The new administration (2 years young) value parent input more than previous years and are quick to respond to parent communication. The faculty from elementary to high school, nurture the entire child creating well rounded individuals equipped with the tools to tackle the real world. The district is adding more classes/clubs geared toward the trades industry which is absolutely AMAZING. The community rallies around the schools with the Fort Thomas Education Foundation distributing thousands upon thousands of donated dollars to enhance and enrich the education and availability of the arts for all the students.

    #3 Districts with the Best Teachers in Kentucky

    Senior: The Hazard school system is supportive, commpetive, and overall amazing. The teachers are always doing their best to prepare students for the future, always encouraging students to make the best of their years by participating in sports, clubs, etc. Hazard students do academically well and the schools have been 8th in the state of kentucky for test scores. I am a high school senior at Hazard High School and the only thing i would love to see change is the cafeteria food. Hazard is one of threee school systems i’ve attended in the past 12 years, and i have been at Hazard 10 and half of those years for a reason!!

    • Danville, KY

    #5 Districts with the Best Teachers in Kentucky

    Alum: For the most part I really enjoyed the school, but their are several things I would change. For one, some of the teacher's I have had in the past would give us packets of papers and then go back to there desks and sit on there phone. Another thing I would change, would be the bullying. The bullying has proceeded to get worse as time passes. The curriculum I learned has been very knowledgeable, but the way they teach it has become more difficult.

    Senior: Paintsville High School is a wonderful place to learn and grow as a student! I am so thankful for the way the staff has prepared me for my college education, and further more how they have supported me in my journey to find the right college for me. The inclusiveness of a small school cannot be matched. I believe if you asked anyone who has been involved with the Paintsville School System they would feel the same!

    #10 Districts with the Best Teachers in Kentucky

    Senior: Being such a small school, everyone knows each other. You really get the one on one time you need as a student here. The majority of the teachers and counselors really care about you academics and your path after graduation. Of course, things could be better. But that is the same for every school. We have amazing academics and test scores. At Jackson Independent, we have much better academics than sports. I must say our food is pretty gross though, other than pizza day.

    • School District
    • Paducah, KY
    • 39 reviews
    #13 Districts with the Best Teachers in Kentucky

    Alum: McCracken County High School was one of the best experiences I have ever had. I came from the smallest of the three schools that consolidated to form McCracken a school of over 2,000 kids. McCracken was the place where I made my best friends, got to experience an amazing athletic environment, and got an amazing education. Throughout high school, I was involved in many programs that prepared me for my future such as the Biomedical sciences program, Coed Cheerleading, and National Honors Society, which gave me a perfect excuse to do community service such as volunteering at a therapeutic horse riding for kids with disabilities. The opportunities at McCracken are endless and the staff never fails to put a smile on my face. Overall, my experience at McCracken was the best high school experience I could have asked for.

    Junior: As a student of Harlan High School, I feel very accepted and understood as an individual inside and outside of the classroom. I am involved in many clubs and each is very willing to work with scheduling issues to make sure I can attend all I need to. The teachers work very hard to make sure we are ready for college and they make sure we walk out with more than a general education, they make sure we know that we can do whatever we want in life as long as we do our best.

    Alum: Russell Independent is an excellent school system for academics, and even for sports. My biggest pet peeve with Russell is their lack of arts studies in all levels. There really aren't any after school clubs involving arts or anything of the sort. However the classes are top notch and the teachers there are excellent.

    #21 Districts with the Best Teachers in Kentucky

    Alum: The staff was very friendly and would help whenever needed. However the administration didn’t get involved when they needed to. A lot of bullying goes on at this school and nothing is done about it. The food served during lunch has been known to be molded or they run out of what they are serving. The bathrooms and classrooms were always spotless and the janitors are the kindest people there. The resources area was always full of donations and if you needed anything they would help

I am so lucky to have made some incredible friends and mentors and I would strongly recommend Glasgow High School to any student.

    #23 Districts with the Best Teachers in Kentucky

    Junior: My experience with Johnson’s County Public School District has been a great one! Of course there are some things that the maybe need and upgrade, that may even be an understatement, but the same is true everywhere you go. Even people are constantly improving upon themselves to become better accents in society.
    This school district is one of the finest in insuring the safety and over all well being of each child it takes under its wing. This district doesn’t not tolerate misbehaviors of any kind and hold the core educational values of respect, friendship, and preparation above all else to ensure its students receive a quality education that will help them to successfully and enthusiastically lead the people if tomorrow!
    I won’t dwell on the the shortcomings of this district because it already knows full well what they are, and the proper administrative staff have these things under control.
    The Public Schools of Johnson County are great!!

    #24 Districts with the Best Teachers in Kentucky

    Sophomore: I have been going to Williamstown Independent Schools since I was in Kindergarten. I have watched this school advance in many areas such as academics, activities, sports, and more. There is a variety of classes for individuals to choose from, along with career pathways. We have recently started an Athletic Boosters Program. Every sport is involved, and it benefits all student athletes. We raise money to support any sport. We have sports such as basketball, baseball, volleyball, softball, archery, golf, cross country, soccer, and cheerleading. Williamstown needs improvement within clubs. Each year, students choose two clubs they would like to participate in. Williamstown has clubs such as key club, FFA, FCCLA, etc. Clubs need to be taken more seriously, especially clubs that participate within the community. Students think clubs are meant to give them free time. Clubs exist to get students involved within the school and community.

    Senior: I loved the teachers and the ability to choose classes that interest you. The fine arts department is beyond great expectations for high school students. Teachers are there to help. There are many sports opportunities to choose from. It was an overall wonderful experience. I would like to see the focus on certain extra circulars change. The most popular sports are more focused on than any other extra activities. Other sports and activities should be equally focused on. They do wonderful things just like the popular activities.

    Parent: Our family had a great experience at WA! There are so many opportunities for kids to find their interests and try new activities. The teachers are mostly fantastic. There are super academic opportunities for geniuses, really bright kids, and kids who need structure and motivation to be their best student-selves. This makes for a nice mix of kids with a broad variety of strengths and talents. Kids get so many chances to form close bonds with their teachers, who often are also their coaches, club advisors, project mentors, academic advisors. Academic AND personal preparation for college is topnotch. WA kids learn how to write, research, think creatively. The unique urban historic campus provides options for community service and seeing life beyond the ivy-covered gates. "Achieve the honorable" motto is central to everything at the school.
