 FOREWORD

This Number of the Bulletin is prepared annually by the Bureau
of Instruction in the State Department of Education. The purpose of
this publication is to give pertinent information regarding the
public and private high schools of the state.

In Kentucky, both public and private high schools are accredited
annually by the State Board of Education. The official accredited
rating of each high school is set forth in this Bulletin. The official
rating given each high school by the State Board of Education is
made on recommendation of the Commission on Secondary Schools
of the Kentucky Association of Colleges, Secondary, and Elementary
Schools.

It is hoped that superintendents and principals will study the
material found in this publication.

KENTUCKY HIGH SCHOOLS—195455

There are 581 public and private high schools in Kentucky. Last
year, the number was 582. Of the 581 high schools now operating,
526 are complete organizations in that they offer work through the
twelfth grade. The remaining 55 high schools, because they do not
offer work through the twelfth grade, are approved as incomplete
feeder schools. Of the 55 incomplete high schools, 48 are separate
junior high schools organized as one distinct unit offering work ex-
clusively in grades seven, eight, and nine. The remaining seven
high schools are incomplete organizations that offer work only
through the tenth or eleventh grades.

Of the 526 complete high schools, 305 are operated by county
boards of education while 145 are maintained by boards of education
in independent school districts. The remaining complete organiza-
tions are either private secondary schools or schools that are main—
tained entirely by the state.

This year, the six—year high schools (grades seven to twelve)
number 223. Last year, they numbered 236. This year, the tradi-
tional four year high schools (grades nine to twelve) number 252.
Last year, they numbered 258. The remaining 51 complete high
school organizations represent modifications of the six-year and the
traditional four-year plans.

Eighteen high schools operated last year that are not operating
this year. This does not mean that the total number of high schools
was reduced by eighteen because seventeen new high schools have
been organized; hence the loss of only one in the total number of
high schools for this year as contrasted to the total number of high
schools that operated lastycar. Eleven of these new high schools
are junior high school organizations (grades 7—9). Two of the new
high schools are complete organizations. They are county high
schools representing in each case a consolidation of all the high
schools in their respective county systems. The two new centralized
high schools are the Boone County High School, Florence, Kentucky,
and the Henderson County High School, Henderson, Kentucky.

The following table presents data regarding the various types of
high school organizations to be found in the state.

* Beginning with the school-year 1932—33, the enrollment of the seventh and eighth
grades of six—year high schools and of junior high schools are included.

Table V presents an interesting picture in total high school en—
rollments in different types of high schools (public White, public
Negro, and private) since 1915. High school enrollments increased
rapidly until around 1941, then enrollments began to decrease on
account of the second \Vorld \Var. The lowest total high school e11-
1'ollment was for the school-year 1943—44. Today, the total high
school enrollment is 170,520. This enrollment includes seventh and
eighth grade enrollments in schools that incorporate these grades in

their organizations. There are 128,797 enrolled in grades 9-12. The
total high school enrollment for the current school year is 14,038
more than the total enrollment last year; 8,422 of this increased
enrollment took place in county high schools, 5,093 in high schools
located in independent school districts, 517 in private secondary
schools, and six in high schools operated by the state.

Table VI shows the situation as regards the number of ac-
credited high schools by years since 1910. When we use the expres—
sion “accredited high school,” we think of an organization that of-
fers a program of work through the twelfth grade. High schools
that do not give work through the twelfth grade should be looked
upon as incomplete feeder schools for the regularly organized, com—
plete high schools of the district.

The high schools in Kentucky are accredited by the State Board
of Education. This applies to both public and private high schools.
The official rating given each school by the State Board of Educa-
tion is made as a result of the recommendations of the Commission
on Secondary Schools of the Kentucky Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools. The members of the Commission meet with the
supervisors in the Bureau of Instruction and canvass the annual high
school reports that are made to the State Department of Education
and also the written reports that are made of inspections by the
supervisors. The State Board of Education may accept or reject the
recommendations of the Commission on Secondary Schools of the
Kentucky Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools or may
modify these recommendations. Usually, the State Board of Edu-
cation follows the recommendations of the Commission.

Accreditation of high schools is primarily a means to an end.
This end is that of stimulating growth and improvement in the
schools. Originally, accreditation of high schools came about as a
result of the need of institutions of higher learning for some satis-
factory basis for admission to college. In recent years, however, as
a result of increasing numbers of young people continuing through
elementary school into high school, the emphasis upon accreditation
as a basis for college admission has been shifted to that of better
education for all youth. The rapidly changing social, industrial, and
economic world and the marked increase in high school enrollment is
challenging the schools to provide for a diversity of needs and
capacities.

 

 To better provide for these needs and capacities, a broader and
more varied high school program is demanded. High schools should
not only assist some pupils for work in higher institutions, but they
should also assist a larger proportion of the pupils to prepare for
entering directly into business, industry, agriculture, and homemak—
ing. It is at once apparent that small high schools cannot possiblv
offer an enriched program to meet the needs and capacities of all
high school pupils unless it is done at excessive cost, hence the jus-
tification of requiring increased enrollment for accreditation of high
schools.

11» Gr.—Accredited through grade eleven.
10 Gr.—Accredited through grade ten.
9 Gr.——-Junior high school—recognized through grade nine.

served shortage in the number of pupils or of teachers.
