There were four Hawaiian students enrolled in Greenup County school districts in the 2022-23 school year, the same number as in the previous year, according to the Kentucky Department of Education.

Data showed that Hawaiian students made up less than 0.1% of the 6,927 students in Greenup County during the 2022-23 school year, making them the second least represented ethnicity in the county school districts.

Among the three school districts in Greenup County, Greenup County School District recorded the highest enrollment of Hawaiian students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of zero students.

The main offices of all districts mentioned in this article are located in cities associated with Greenup County.

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.
