There were nine multiracial students enrolled in Robertson County school in the 2022-23 school year, a 125% increase from the four multiracial students in the previous school year, according to the Kentucky Department of Education.

Data showed that Robertson County welcomed a total of 510 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, multiracial students comprised 1.8% of the student body to be the third most represented ethnicity in the county.

Robertson County School was the only school in the county which enrolled multiracial 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.
