There were 111,570 students enrolled in Jefferson County School District schools in the 2022-23 school year, 0.6% more than the previous year, according to the Kentucky Department of Education.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2022-23 school year, 51.4% of them were boys, and 48.6% were girls.

The most represented ethnicity among students in the district was Black, making up 37.4% of the student population.

Jefferson County School District roughly covers 164 schools within Jefferson County and has a main office in Louisville.

Among the 164 schools in Jefferson County School District, Marion C. Moore School recorded the highest enrollment of 2,715 students in the 2022-23 school 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.

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.
