OR’Et IZATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF KENTUCKY HIGH
. SCHOOLS

Schofig‘here are 818 high schools in Kentucky. This num-
her is in co \ ‘. st to 833 in operation last year and 848 year before
last. Of the 818 high schools operating this year, 486 are county
high schools for white pupils and 23 are county high schools for
colored. In the independent districts there are 225 high schools,
170 of which are operated for white pupils and 55 for colored.
Private secondary schools number 77, one of them being for colored
pupils. In addition, we have 1 municipal and 6 state high schools.

Kentucky has several types of high school organization. Of the
818 high schools, district, private, state and municipal, 339 are
organized as 6-year high schools (grades 7—12), 363 are of the tradi—
tional type (grades 9—12), 9 are senior high schools (grades 10—12),
31 are junior high schools (grades 7—9), 18 are high schools organ-
ized only through the 11th grade and 58 are schools that offer
Work through the 10th grade only. One of the tables that follow
will illustrate how these various organizations are distributed as to
county, independent, private, state and municipal high schools.

Pupils. The total high school enrollment of the state is 124,504.
The public white high schools, district, municipal and state, enroll
106,799 of this number. The public colored high schools enroll 8,711
while the private high schools enroll 8,994. In connection with the
total high school enrollment, it should be noted that 29,704 are
enrolled in the 7th and 8th grades of the high schools which include
these grades in their organization.‘ This means that the enrollment
“1 grades 9, 10, 11 and 12 amounts to 94,800.

Improvements. Kentucky is a state of many small high schools.
It has-large areas in which road conditions have made transportation
unavailable. Naturally, county school authorities in developing their
1113115011001 PrOgramsjn the past thought almost entirely in terms of
making high school advantages available to their boys and girls. Now,
however, since roads are improving and school buses are becoming
1110“? 00mmon, they are not only thinking in terms of the availability
0f high school opportunities but they are also thinking in terms of
2311:1113 these opportunities commensurate with those found in large
ties :idOf Population. Gradually but slowly, county school authori-

patrons of the small schools are beginningktogrealize that - fl

improved means of transportation as well as the demands for a more
extensive curricula to meet the needs of those who will never go to
college, require larger high schools with more extended and enriched
curricula offerings. Economy of high school operation also makes
a similar demand. Hence, we note that county boards of education
are more and more combining their small high schools at logical
school centers and furnishing transportation. This is proving to be
less expensive than the maintenance of many small high schools and
is, at the same time, providing the pupils with a broader and richer
program of work. With the further improvement of roads and in-
creased transportation, the high school centers finally determined
upon will greatly increase in enrollment and offer not only the tradi-
tional college entrance subjects but also such practical and enrich-
ing courses as commercial work, vocational agriculture, home econom-
ics, music and art. Such courses are designed to prepare one to
enter directly into life activities as well as to enter college.

County Studies. Fortunately, county boards of education are
being assisted in this work through the series of studies of attend-
ance areas now being carried on in the state with funds furnished
by the Federal Government. The findings and recommendations of
these studies, based upon an intensive and comprehensive survey of
local school conditions, are giving county school authorities facts
and sound judgments rather than opinions and sentiments as a basis
for attacking the problem of reorganizing their high school program
in line with modern demands. If county school authorities will
map out their future program for school development in line with
the recommendations of these surveys, it will not be many years be-
fore many counties can boast of a high school program that is com-
mensnrate with the best.

It is now generally agreed that in order for a high school to
meet modern needs it should have an enrollment of at least 200
pupils and employ at least seven teachers, exclusive of the principal-
With such an organization, the high school should be able to 059.1“
such courses as commercial work, home economics, vocational 3%”
culture, etc., in addition to the traditional academic subjects. As an
illustration of how far we are from that goal, it should be observed
that out of 741 public high schools we have 600 which do not met1
this standard. Only 151 high schools of the 818 in the state, pubhc
and private, enroll as many as 200 pupils.

Accrediting, Colleges and associations of colleges began the
accrediting of high schools to which they looked for students. BY

satisfactorily with those of the colleges, presumably to the advan—
tage of, the students both before and after passing from high school
into college. The pioneer high schools were mainly private high
schools, with no close supervision by the state, and this inspection
and accrediting afforded them a form of supervision. With a
phenomenal increase in the number of public high schools and in the
proportion of pupils served by them (now 92.8%), and with recogni-
tion of the duty of the state to supervise the administration of these
high schools together with the general service (grades 1—12) of their
respective districts, the duty of supervision by inspection and ac-
crediting has been assumed by the state, which has essential rela-
tions with the boards of education carrying on these schools.

With the freest cooperation and advice of the accrediting com-
mittee of the Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, the
State Board of Education considers the entire program of service
maintained by each board of education in the light of its financial
and geographic conditions, and officially accredits its schools. In
county school systems attention will not continue to be confined to
the last four grades of individual schools. A more comprehensive
View will prevail. That view will include all the children in all the
communities of the county, and the program must provide for them.
It may be an A program, or it may be a B program, according to the
ability of the county to maintain it, and the entire coordinated pro-
gram Will be considered as a unit.

Results by Counties. Our common school offering is a twelve-
year, twelve-grade course, usually organized with eight grades in
the elementary and four in the high school.

Our school census covers a range of twelve years, six to
eighteen, corresponding to the twelve grades of our common school
course.

Since eight of these years are commonly spent in the elementary
grades and four of them in the high school, it is reasonable to con--
elude that about two-thirds of the children in our school census

should be enrolled in the elementary grades and about one—third of
them in high school grades.

The number actually enrolled in the high $011001 grades Of our
public and private schools is given county by county in the follow—

Inequalities. The tabulation of high school results shown coun-
ty by county presents a picture of inequalities, one county gil‘illg
high school education to only one-seventh as large a per cent ofits
pupils as another county does. The same table shows that this
county of lowest school result (as measured by percentage of chil-
dren in high school) is low in wealth back of each child, the pol-
pup-il wealth varying from county to county in a range 01.1110"C
than twenty to one.

About forty per cent of the program of common school educa-
tion is financed by the state tllru its per capita school fund, and
about sixty per cent by local (county or district) taxation. T‘h“
state financed part is a well-equalized program of education, 38.181.
as it goes. The locally financed part is uncqualizcd7 discrilllillfliilié'
among children according to where they live and discrilnillatlllfl
among school taxpayers in the same way. If the state pcl' caplifl
were raised to finance the major part of the program, school 591‘
for the children would be proportionately equalized and local sch
tax rates reduced to a minimum. Under this plan the short sel‘EH'
month term which now prevails in the rural schools of eightY-One coun:
ties will yield to a standard term of at least eight months and 031"?
larger numbers of children into high school.

Teachers. It is interesting to observe that in the smaller schools
with the minimum curriculum there are but few pupils to “19
teacher, while in the larger schools with their more liberal offerint“
there are more pupils to the teacher.

There are 5,080 teachers employed in all types of 11
public and private. Practically all of them are graduates of
ard four-year colleges. Last year all of our high school teat]
were graduates of standard four—year colleges excel),D 308' T
Year the number of non-college graduates is so small that we hille
ignored this item in compiling high school data.

0f the 5,080 teachers employed in the 818 high schools.
employed in public white high schools and 381 are empl
public high schools for colored pupils. The private high
employ 516 teachers.
