The statewide test results for 2014-15 were a cause for celebration for Fort Thomas Independent Schools after the results were made public this morning.
The Kentucky Department of Education provided the data.
Kentucky annually releases performance reports on public schools and school districts. Schools are assessed based on students’ performances on tests given in the spring and other academic data.
After all the data was compiled, Fort Thomas Independent tested at the top of every school district in the state. Beechwood Independent came in at No. 2.
“I am filled with pride for our students and staff. These results definitely reflect their hard work and dedication. It is very gratifying to know that our focus on providing all students with a world class educational experience is producing world class results,” said Fort Thomas Independent Superintendent Gene Kirchner.
Â
In the High School category, Highlands was ranked No. 3 in the state, just ahead of Beechwood and a few spots ahead of Walton Verona.
Johnson Elementary tested the highest of the three elementary schools and was ranked No. 5 in the entire state. Moyer Elementary came in at No. 25 and Woodfill Elementary came in at No. 32.
Highlands Middle School was just outside of the top 10, coming in at No. 11 in the state.
Statewide, the percentage of students scoring at proficient and distinguished levels was relatively flat compared with 2013-14.
However, the percentage was higher in nearly every subject and at every grade level than in 2012, the first year of the Kentucky Performance Rating for Educational Progress tests, state officials said.
