Gallatin County Lower Elementary School had the highest enrollment among Gallatin County schools, welcoming 514 students during the 2022-23 school year, according to the Kentucky Department of Education.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2022-23 school year, 52.7% of them were boys, and 47.3% were girls.

Data also showed that the majority of students were white, making up 85% of Gallatin County Lower Elementary School's total enrollment.

Among the four schools in Gallatin County, Gallatin County High School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 511 students, while Gallatin County Middle School welcomed 429 students and ranked third in the 2022-23 school year.

Gallatin County Lower Elementary School is part of Gallatin County School District, which roughly covers schools within Gallatin County and has a main office in Warsaw.

In the previous school year, Gallatin County High School had the highest number of students among Gallatin County schools.

Kentucky is in the midst of a statewide teacher shortage as turnover rates spiked to 10.9% in 2023, up from an 8.9% nine-year average. This issue is more prominent in schools with more low-income and minority students.

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.
