There were 2,634 Hispanic or Latino students enrolled in Kenton County schools in the 2022-23 school year, a 3.9% increase from the 2,536 Hispanic or Latino students in the previous school year, according to the Kentucky Department of Education.

Data showed that Kenton County welcomed a total of 24,224 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, Hispanic or Latino students comprised 10.9% of the student body to be the second most represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the 33 schools in Kenton County, Holmes High School recorded the highest enrollment of Hispanic or Latino students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 300 students, making up 29.9% 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.
