"A brighter future through better public schools"

KDE releases updated fact sheet on Kentucky public schools

For the past few years, the Kentucky Department of Education has produced the Kentucky Education Fact Sheet, which is a compilation of basic information about the state's public school system.

The report for the 2005-2006 school year includes statewide data in a wide variety of areas including:

  • average per pupil spending, teacher salaries and state funding
  • full-day kindergarten, family resource and youth services centers and alternative SBDM councils
  • graduation, attendance, retention and dropout rates
  • school board member gender and racial breakdowns
  • non-English languages spoken in the homes of limited-English speaking families

The latest version of the report is available on the KDE Web site at
