Data showed that Mason County welcomed a total of 2,732 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, white students comprised 76.6% of the student body to be the most represented ethnicity in the county.
Among the four schools in Mason County, Mason County High School recorded the highest enrollment of white students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 682 students, making up 78.8% of the school's total student body.
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.
