There were 7,202 fifth grade students enrolled in Jefferson County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 12.8% less than the previous year, according to the Kentucky Department of Education.

Peace Academy welcomed most of the fifth grade students in the county, registering 133 students.

Within Jefferson County schools, the highest student population was found in ninth grade, with the smallest class sizes seen in preschool.

Statewide, Jefferson County ranked first in enrollment numbers. It was also ranked first the year before.

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.

Data also shows that 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.
