Data showed that Boone County welcomed a total of 23,956 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, Hispanic or Latino students comprised 10.8% of the student body to be the second most represented ethnicity in the county.
Among the 27 schools in Boone County, Larry A. Ryle High School recorded the highest enrollment of Hispanic or Latino students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 296 students, making up 14% 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.
