There were 511 Hispanic students enrolled in Campbell County school districts in the 2022-23 school year, 23.1% less than the previous year, according to the Kentucky Department of Education.

Data showed that Hispanic students made up 4.1% of the 12,484 students in Campbell County during the 2022-23 school year, making them the fourth most represented ethnicity in the county school districts.

Among the six school districts in Campbell County, Bellevue Independent School District recorded the highest enrollment of Hispanic students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 33 students.

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.
